A rare sculptural rattan side table depicting an elephant, in the spirit of the iconic creations of the Italian company Vivai del Sud, renowned for its rattan and bamboo pieces from the 1960s and 70s.
Made entirely of woven rattan over an internal wooden frame, this piece is distinguished by the quality of its craftsmanship: large, delicately curved ears, an elegantly curled trunk, and a body encircled by a decorative twisted frieze typical of Italian design from this period. The entire piece rests on a rectangular base that accentuates its sculptural appearance.
The circular top allows it to be used as a side table, end table, or small decorative table, while maintaining a strong aesthetic presence. A true conversation piece, this rattan elephant embodies the exotic and refined spirit of 1970s design.
The piece has been repainted by a previous owner and shows some minor signs of wear, attesting to its history and authenticity.
A vintage piece full of character, ideal for a bohemian, Riviera, mid-century, or eclectic interior.
