Impossible to overlook, Elephant is a life-size light sculpture standing 163 cm tall—an enchanting creation by Isidro Ferrer, inspired by his Funny Farm character Smelly Fant. Crafted by master artisan Manolo Martín using the traditional vareta technique, its wooden frame takes shape with grand ears, trunk, and sturdy legs. A warm, cheerful glow radiates from its natural wood veneer lining, bringing joy and curiosity to any space. Each handmade Elephant is unique, celebrating the raw beauty of its materials and the artisan’s expressive craftsmanship.
