Description
This geometric elephant figurine shows an elephant standing on four sturdy legs with its trunk raised high, a cheerful pose that gives the piece its playful character. Its body is formed from flat, angled facets, like folded paper turned into sculpture, so light catches each plane differently as you pass. The colour is a soft grey with an etched finish: fine darker lines run along the creases and edges, giving the surface a gently aged look that softens the crisp geometry. The ears fan out from the head and two small tusks curve forward beneath the trunk. It stands 22.4cm tall, 23.9cm wide and 9.9cm deep, a size that holds its own on a shelf without crowding it.
Grey sits easily with other shades, so this figurine settles into almost any room. We like it on a coffee table beside a stack of books, on a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a bookcase shelf, where the raised trunk adds a lift of movement among straighter objects. At 9.9cm deep it fits a narrow shelf or a deep windowsill, and its flat-sided form looks just as at home in a modern living room as in a calm bedroom or a home office.
The figurine is freestanding on its four broad feet, so it needs no fixings and moves from room to room whenever you fancy a change. The etched finish covers every facet, from the tip of the trunk to the tail, so it reads well from any angle. Simply dust it with a soft dry cloth now and then. To style it, set it beside natural textures such as linen, wicker or warm wood, or group it with brass and pale ceramics for a softer look. It makes a thoughtful gift too, ready to take its place on a shelf the moment it is unwrapped.
