Koala sculpture made of matt black porcelain, decorated with gold lustre.
Koala perfectly captures the Boldblack collection’s unique mix of naturalism and leading edge. The series offers a singular vision of the animal kingdom in creations notable for matching realistic and precise modelling with a bicolour black-and-gold decoration. With an unmistakable creative treatment, these designs fit the most varied interior styles.
Koala portrays one of the world’s most endearing animals from a surprising new angle. The creation combines the expressiveness and detail of refined sculpture with a highly sophisticated decoration. The matte black porcelain enhances every little detail and contrasts with the gold lustre to create a very attractive decorative effect.
The cute koala, one of Australia’s most popular animals, is the closest thing in nature to a teddy bear. But the koala is much more than an adorable little tree-climbing creature. This animal symbolizes the need to take things leisurely and to appreciate life’s small day-to-day pleasures. The koala is deeply significant for Australia’s First Nations people, who believe it symbolises wisdom and adaptation. Their legends often depict it as a being with profound insight into its environment and a heightened sense of community. It is also a totem of conservation and respect for the environment, now turned into an innovative decorative and artistic creation.
