Rare sculptural side table in rattan representing an elephant, in the spirit of the iconic creations of the Italian house Vivai del Sud, famous for its rattan and bamboo pieces from the 1960s and 1970s. Entirely made of woven rattan on an internal wooden structure, this piece stands out for the quality of its craftsmanship: wide ears delicately curved, elegantly coiled trunk, and a body adorned with a decorative twisted frieze typical of Italian design from this period. The whole rests on a rectangular base that enhances its sculptural appearance. The circular top allows it to be used as a side table, end table, or small decorative table, while maintaining a strong aesthetic presence. A true conversation piece, this rattan elephant embodies the exotic and refined spirit of 70s design. The piece has been repainted by a previous owner and shows some light signs of use, witnesses to its history and authenticity.
