Beautiful pair of sculptural bookends in travertine marble, crafted in the shape of two stylized elephants. Designed by Enzo Mari and produced by Fratelli Mannelli in the 1970s in Italy.
The natural travertine gives each piece a unique texture and warm tone, making them not only functional but also highly decorative. The minimalist yet playful elephant form is typical of Italian design of the era – simple geometric shapes.
Fratelli Mannelli is renowned for their work in travertine during the mid-20th century, creating a wide range of objects from vases and bowls to desk accessories and sculptures. Their pieces are increasingly sought after by collectors of Italian mid-century design.
