The Toms Drag Hippopotame is a recognizable art object from the Toms Company collection, designed by German artist Tom Hoffmann. The hand-painted object depicts a hippopotamus wearing a golden crown on its head and standing on four gold heeled boots. The design utilizes a vibrant pop art color scheme and various graphic patterns to create a striking accent in the interior.
The base of the Toms Drag Hippopotame is made of marmorite (a sturdy composite of crushed marble and resin) and is entirely hand-painted. The sculpture features various motifs typical of the designer's style, including the black and white checkerboard pattern on the legs and under the crown, combined with detailed floral, dot, and line patterns across the body. The hippopotamus is meticulously finished and features small details such as diamond-shaped rhinestones near the eyes.
