Product description
This exquisite design object is a prime example of 1970s Italian craftsmanship. Carved from solid, porous travertine, this stylized elephant embodies the minimalist and brutalist aesthetic of the era. The design is attributed to the renowned Fratelli Mannelli workshop in Signa (Tuscany), world-famous for their architectural animal figures made of natural stone. The clean geometric lines and the focus on essential forms are deeply reminiscent of the work of Enzo Mari. Key Features: Multifunctional Design: Featuring a precise vertical slot on its back, the sculpture serves as a sophisticated letter holder, napkin stand, or elegant display for photographs and business cards. Material Aesthetic: The characteristic texture of the natural travertine makes this piece a tactile experience and a unique visual standout. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The natural patina highlights the authentic character of the stone without any cracks or chips. Specifications: Origin: Italy Period: circa 1970 Material: Natural Stone (Travertine) Dimensions: H 11 cm | W 12.2 cm | D 3 cm Weight: 673 g (solid quality) A timeless collector's piece that seamlessly blends organic warmth with rigorous design—perfect for curators and enthusiasts of high-end Mid-Century Modern interiors.
