A photorealistic bronze sculpture of a giraffe with a large parasol canopy on its head and a smaller table on its back.

A surreal interior design object inspired by Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne: a sculptural giraffe that doubles as a functional parasol. At first glance, it resembles a graceful, life-sized giraffe with refined, elegant lines and a polished bronze or patinated metal finish. The giraffe’s long neck and body unfold and transform into a parasol structure, with delicate, nature-inspired mechanisms hidden in the design. The parasol canopy echoes organic forms, resembling large tropical leaves or a woven textile, seamlessly integrated into the giraffe’s silhouette. A poetic balance of art and utility, merging whimsical animal sculpture with sophisticated furniture design. See more
