Description
The Schuller Hippo is a 34cm-tall polyresin figurine shaped as a hippopotamus with an open mouth, covered in hand-finished multicolour graffiti-style artwork. The surface carries pink, yellow, green, black and white spray-paint effects, layered tags, brushwork and graphic overlays typical of urban street art. The hippo measures 50cm from nose to tail and weighs 3kg, giving it a substantial desk or shelf presence.
Designed as a decorative accent rather than functional object, the figurine suits living rooms, home offices, creative studios, retail interiors and hospitality spaces where bold colour and character are wanted. The rounded body and stocky legs provide a stable footprint on flat surfaces without needing additional support. The graffiti finish is sealed under a protective coating to resist handling marks and dust accumulation.
Each piece is hand-finished, so the exact placement and intensity of colour varies between individual figurines. The polyresin construction allows for fine detail in the facial features and body contours while keeping the weight manageable for moving and repositioning. The graffiti motifs include recognisable street-art elements such as drips, tags, stencil-style letterforms and colour-block overlays, applied to mimic aerosol spray patterns.
Schuller produces this hippo as part of a wider animal figurine range that includes other species finished in similar graffiti, metallic and colour-block treatments. The hippo's open-mouth pose and cartoon-style proportions give it a playful character that contrasts with the raw urban aesthetic of the graffiti finish, making it suitable for both contemporary interiors and spaces with an industrial or pop-art theme.

Frequently Asked
What is the figurine made from?
Polyresin, a composite material combining resin with stone powder or other fillers. This allows for detailed moulding and a solid weight while remaining more durable and affordable than ceramic or carved stone.
Does the graffiti finish vary between pieces?
Yes. Each hippo is hand-finished, so the exact placement, intensity and layering of the spray-paint effects differ between individual figurines. This is characteristic of the hand-applied process, not a defect.
How is the figurine cleaned?
Wipe with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable, but avoid soaking the surface or using household cleaners, polishes or solvents, as these can damage the protective coating over the graffiti finish.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
No. Polyresin figurines are designed for indoor use only. Exposure to rain, direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations will degrade the finish and structural integrity over time.
