Maxi Horse Head – Optical

The Maxi Horse Head from Baci Milano's Optical collection is a definitive shelf statement — substantial enough to anchor a row of design books, striking enough to own the room. Sculpted in premium polyresin in two mirror-image colorways — black field with white op-art overlay, and white field with black — the pair logic is embedded in the design itself.

Op-art and chess collide in a collection that takes the iconic Knight silhouette and wraps it in geometric precision. The rigorous black-and-white pattern reads as flat from one angle, three-dimensional from another — a visual shift that mirrors the strategic depth of a chess game. Designed at Casa Baci in Milan, this is Italian decorative sculpture at its most graphically confident: no color, no compromise, only contrast.

For Dubai interiors with a contemporary art bias — the collector's villa, the executive office that doubles as a gallery, the superyacht salon where bold monochrome sculpture anchors the space — the Maxi Horse Head delivers visual authority without a word spoken. The horse-head silhouette also carries weight in Dubai's equestrian culture, reading simultaneously as chess Knight and tribute to the racing stables.

Pair the black-dominant and white-dominant versions as mirror bookends, or place one against an opposing character piece for a frozen chess-game vignette on the console.
