Crafted from brown leather, the figure is defined by its reduced, sculptural form. The elongated trunk, softly rounded ears, and clean lines give the elephant a calm yet expressive character.

Particularly appealing is the folded construction: the leather is carefully shaped and folded, creating a clear, almost origami-like silhouette. The natural patina and light signs of wear enhance the authentic vintage charm and make each piece unique.

As a decorative object, the elephant is ideal for shelves, desks, or display cabinets and blends effortlessly into Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian, or contemporary interiors. A desirable collector’s piece for enthusiasts of German design from the 1960s. This piece has an attribution mark,
