About the Item
‘Scarabeo’ is a marble token of good fortune, protection and renewal. Just as the scarab was once a sacred emblem of prosperity and the eternal cycle of life, this sculptural object is designed to awaken the senses and reflect on notions of luck and wellbeing.
It is carved from two distinct marble volumes into the shape of a scarabeo. Its softened volume and carefully finished surface invite touch, creating a dialogue between material permanence and emotional stillness.
In its refined simplicity, ‘Scarabeo’ is not only an object of contemplation, but also an object for grounding—an intimate anchor of emotional calm.
________________________________________
What makes it unique:
In ‘Scarabeo’, rare marbles—Azur Green and Aura Pink—are paired with the luminous purity of Greek Dionysos marble. This interplay of colors and textures recalls the harmony of natural forces, where vitality, serenity, and grounding coexist. Celebrated since antiquity for its refinement and enduring presence, marble here is a vessel for balance, inviting a flow of calm and supportive energy into both hand and space.
The fine matte finish, enhances the tactile properties of the stone, revealing both its natural veining and its smoothness to the touch. Far from being a static object, ’Scarabeo’ becomes a sensory companion—an emblem of affection that can be held, contemplated, or placed as a meaningful presence within a space.
________________________________________
Visualizing it in your space:
Compact and sculptural, ’Scarabeo’ is versatile in use. It may sit on a desk as a grounding accessory, anchoring daily routines with a sense of calm. It may also function as a decorative piece, bringing warmth and symbolism to an interior. It can be used as a meditative object. As a contemporary object, it speaks not through sentimentality but through form and tactility, a reminder of connection and presence that resonates in both personal and shared spaces.
________________________________________
Background
Identity:
At on.entropy, design is an act of metamorphosis—transforming marble from a stern, monumental substance into something intimate and tender. ’Bird num’ embodies this philosophy, shaped by artisans whose skill and sensitivity create a balance between strength and softness. Every edge is hand-sculpted in our studio, affirming a heritage of craftsmanship while offering a fresh narrative of love expressed through stone.
________________________________________
Why it’s worth the price:
‘Scarabeo’ is more than a decorative object; it is a meditative gesture, a piece that engages both touch and emotion. Its individuality lies in the uniqueness of each marble block, ensuring no two are alike. ‘Scarabeo’ is not mass-produced—it is an object of slow design, each piece individually sculpted to preserve the uniqueness of its marble block. By combining heritage craftsmanship with modern sensibility, ‘Scarabeo’ transforms marble into a daily companion—an object of permanence, tactility, and quiet reflection.

on entropy
on • entropy is a marble atelier established since 2009 in London
Athens by Niki and Zoe Moskofoglou. Marble, an archetypal greek material, takes on an unconventional role in on • entropy's designs; they encapsulate the contradiction of being heavy and compact and at the same time vulnerable, fragile and translucent. Its diverse character is the core of the atelier’s founding mission: to experiment with marble and its entropy;
The result is the craftsmanship of intricate and delicate creations, evolving its diachronic qualities in an imaginative
contemporary way. Created and run by sisters Niki and Zoe Moskofoglou, on • entropy is the fruit of a 40 years long family affair with marble in Greece. NM is an architect with an academic training in Design. Her work demonstrates an architectural detailing and instinct of how Space and Object can surpass mere function.
ZM is a civil engineer with expertise in Sustainable Heritage. From the cultural landscape of the quarry to refined marble, she wants to offer a Future to the Past human and natural environment. NZM founded their design studio to reflect both art and craft. Pushing the boundaries of marble,
their work begins with the human experience and an interaction with the senses; it demands contemplation. Today on • entropy creations are presented at established european galleries including Rossana Orlandi and Mint, while collaborations on commercial projects (Le Bon Marche, Four Seasons) carry on.
