Inspired by the maxim of the three wise monkeys, which embody the proverbial principle "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" – the Mercurious Designs Carved Pool Ball Set is a fascinatingly modern twist on this age-old axiom.
Individually hand-carved and finished, the Mercurious Designs Carved Pool Ball Set features 3 skulls (balls 6, 9 and 15) in place of the traditional monkeys. The three wise skulls serve as a timely memento mori and also symbolize how we should be good of mind, speech and action – or suffer the dire consequences. And perhaps the pool ball reference is a subtle nod to the fact that all of life is a game, and that we shouldn’t take ourselves so seriously.
The warped brainchild of Momo, a native Londoner, who has been refining his craft for over 20 years, Mercurious Designs reimagines familiar things in a new light. If you’re looking for the perfect tabletop or mantlepiece that combines an ancestral tribal touch welded to a post-industrial future – this one-of-a-kind Carved Pool Ball Set is made for you.
