Monte Carlo, Monaco — 2013
MONACO SHOWCASE — Ferrari 330 P4
Presented in front of the Casino de Monte Carlo, this unique installation brought together automotive history and artistic expression in one of the most iconic locations in the world.
The project centred around a sculptural reproduction of the Ferrari 330 P4, realised in chocolate and displayed on an original chassis.

THE ICON
The Ferrari 330 P4 remains one of the most celebrated racing prototypes of the 1960s, symbolising the peak of Italian engineering and design.
The installation paid tribute to this legacy through an unconventional and striking medium.
A Unique Concept
Combining craftsmanship and creativity, the project explored a different interpretation of automotive form, transforming one of the most iconic race cars into a sculptural piece.
The result was an installation that blurred the line between engineering, art and material experimentation.
The Ferrari 330 P4 Monaco chocolate installation was conceived as an unconventional tribute to one of the most celebrated racing prototypes in automotive history. Presented in front of the Casino de Monte Carlo in 2013, the project brought together two worlds rarely associated — the precision of Italian motorsport engineering and the craft of artisanal confectionery — in a setting that amplified both.
The Ferrari 330 P4 needs little introduction. Developed by Ferrari for the 1967 season, it dominated endurance racing with a clarity of purpose that few machines have matched before or since. Its proportions, its stance, its unmistakable silhouette — these are the elements that made it an icon not only of competition, but of Italian design at its most resolved.
Mounting a full-scale chocolate reproduction on an original chassis was a deliberate choice. The contrast between the permanence of the chassis and the fragility of the material created a tension that invited a different kind of attention — one that went beyond the mechanical and into the cultural.
For Epoclassic, this project represented an early expression of what would become a consistent approach: finding contexts where significant automobiles could be experienced differently, and where the stories behind them could reach new audiences.
“This project reflects an early approach to creating experiences that extend beyond traditional automotive events, combining heritage, creativity and unique contexts.”
