GALATEA
The Galatea collection draws its name from the mythological figure Galatea, a symbol of beauty, transformation, and artistry. In Greek mythology, Galatea was a statue brought to life by the sculptor Pygmalion, an embodiment of his ideal vision of perfection. This tale of creation and metamorphosis informs the collection, as each piece of marble, carefully sculpted and honed, becomes a refined object of desire and function
Much like the mythological Galatea, these WORKS are the result of exquisite craftsmanship, where the inherent qualities of the marble are enhanced through the touch of skilled artisans. The name Galatea evokes the idea of bringing stone to life, paralleling the craftsmanship that turns solid blocks of marble into expressive, dynamic forms
The forms of the Galatea WORKS are defined by their elegant simplicity, allowing the beauty of the marble to take center stage. The smooth, refined surfaces showcase the intricate patterns and colors of the stone, transforming each piece into a functional work of art. The distinct veining and subtle color variations present in each slab ensure that no two pieces are alike, imbuing them with an individuality that mirrors the dynamic qualities of nature itself
Exclusively for Studiotwentyseven, the Galatea collection embodies both the timeless beauty of marble and the transformative power of art, becoming both sculptural objects and tributes to the beauty of natural stone brought to life through human creativity. Each work in the Galatea collection is handcrafted in Italy and is customizable upon request
