Antichron
Antichron by Bathsheba Grossman is a piece of art that delves into the intriguing world of mathematical sculpture, embodying concepts of geometry and time in a physical form, merging mathematical precision with artistic expression. Antichron's elegant symmetry – it has the group consisting of the three half rotations around each axis – make it a favorite with mathematicians and laity alike. The term "Antichron" suggests a theme related to time, potentially playing with the concept in an unconventional way. "Anti-" usually means against or opposite, and "chron" refers to time (from the Greek "chronos"). So, "Antichron" might evoke ideas or forms that challenge our usual perceptions of time or represent time in a non-linear or abstract manner. Antichron could incorporate geometric shapes or structures that symbolize the complexity and fluidity of time. This might include using patterns or designs that repeat in unexpected ways or creating forms that seem to change as you view them from different angles, reflecting the mutable nature of time. Antichron might visually or conceptually represent dimensions beyond our ordinary experience, perhaps hinting at the idea that time is a dimension that can be twisted, turned, or viewed from multiple perspectives. Antichron was designed by Bathsheba Grossman, and produced by us in agreement with her.

Merging the aesthetic, the mathematical, and possibly the mystical into a single, compelling piece. Grossman's work encourages viewers to appreciate the deep connections between art and mathematics, with objects that invite viewers to appreciate the beauty of mathematics in a new light, revealing the underlying patterns and structures that govern both the natural world and human creativity.
250 GTO Floating
Our bronze statue is inspired by the iconic Ferrari 250 GTO, one of the purest embodiments of Ferrari's brand, a collector's favourite owned by illustrious owners such as radio DJ Chris Evans, businessmen Gregor Fisken, David MacNeil, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and fashion designer Ralph Lauren. And for good reason being rare with only 36 ever made, being the last front-engined competitive GT which dominated circuits from 1962 to 1964, winning the 63 and 64 Tour De France, class winner for the 62, 63, 64 Targa Florio and Lemans 63 and 64 among its 500 competitive appearances, racing hard against Aston Martin DB4 Zagato, Jaguar E Types, and AC cobras. That's why the Ferrari 250 GTO is the most expensive car at auction reaching over $70m in June 2018.

Metatron
Metatron by Bathsheba Grossman is inspired by mathematical and possibly mystical themes, Metatron, reflects the intricate order and beauty found in abstract mathematical concepts. Based on a cuboctahedron which has octahedral symmetry enabling several axes of rotation. Abstract enough for you? We had to Google this… The Metatron is one of our most spectacular demonstrations of the extraordinary capabilities of 3D printing, allowing for the production of shapes and forms that would be difficult or impossible to create using traditional methods. In various mystical traditions, Metatron is the name of an angel associated with the highest levels of guidance and record-keeping, often depicted or imagined in geometric terms. Metatron was designed by Bathsheba Grossman, and produced by us in agreement with her.

911 Emerging
Our bronze statue is inspired by the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, unveiled in 1973, is widely regarded as one of the most iconic and pivotal sports cars ever produced by Porsche. Designed for homologation purposes, the RS (Rennsport) 2.7 was a lightweight, high-performance version of the standard 911, tailored for racing but also available for road use. At its heart was a 2.7-liter flat-six engine, capable of producing 210 horsepower, a remarkable figure for its time, which propelled the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 from 0 to 60 mph in less than 6 seconds, an impressive feat that contributed to its legendary status. What set the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 apart was not just its engine, but its comprehensive suite of performance enhancements. Porsche engineers implemented significant weight reduction measures, including the use of thinner glass, lighter body panels, and the removal of non-essential interior fittings, which allowed the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 to achieve a weight of around 975 kilograms. The car's handling was further improved by wider rear wheels and tires, and revised suspension tuning, making it exceptionally agile and responsive on both the road and track. The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 was visually distinctive, most notably for its "ducktail" rear spoiler, which was the first of its kind on a production car. This feature not only enhanced the vehicle's aerodynamics but also became a defining aesthetic element. The car was available in a range of bright, eye-catching colors, adding to its allure and appeal. Only 1,580 units were produced, the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 quickly sold out and became a collector's item. Its success on the racetrack, including wins at prestigious events, cemented its reputation as a racing legend. Today, the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 is celebrated not only for its performance and engineering excellence but also for its role in the evolution of the 911 series. It represents a golden era of Porsche sports cars, embodying a perfect blend of speed, innovation, and style that continues to inspire Porsche design and engineering.

Type D Floating
Our bronze statue inspired by the Jaguar Type D, launched in 1954, it carved its name into the annals of motorsport history through a combination of engineering prowess and aesthetic beauty. Designed by the legendary Malcolm Sayer, its distinctive characteristics, such as the innovative monocoque construction and the iconic shark-fin aerodynamic design, set it apart in a competitive era. This vehicle, with its 3.4-liter straight-six engine, became a symbol of performance and efficiency, capturing the hearts of racing aficionados and the checkered flag at the Le Mans 24 Hours race three times from 1955 to 1957. A mere 87 units of the Jaguar Type D were produced, making each example a rare jewel in the crown of automotive collectors. Its pioneering use of disc brakes and its aerodynamically efficient body were not just triumphs of their time; they paved the way for future advancements in the automotive field. Today, the Jaguar Type D is sought after not only for its illustrious racing history but also for its technological innovations and timeless beauty. It remains a cherished icon among collectors and enthusiasts, a testament to the enduring legacy of Jaguar's commitment to excellence.
