Unlike the intricate forms of the Engineered Emotion Alastair Gibson and the technical complexity of the Carbon Art 45 sculpture, the Carbon Heart embraces a more familiar and universally recognised form. Stripping away layered intricacy, this piece focuses on the timeless symbol of the heart—allowing the beauty of carbon fibre and motorsport heritage to take centre stage.
Crafted using materials sourced from modern Grand Prix cars, the Carbon Heart merges high-performance engineering with contemporary sculpture. The signature weave of carbon fibre reflects light across its surface, creating depth and movement while highlighting the material’s distinctive motorsport aesthetic.
The sculpture can be displayed on its bespoke stand—featuring an authentic gear from a modern Formula One car—or as a free-hanging piece for flexible placement in any space. Whether mounted on a desk or suspended as a statement artwork, the Carbon Heart brings together precision engineering, racing heritage, and symbolic design.
