Elephant is the other Funny Farm animal we chose to convert into a light sculpture.
Like all elephants, it has big ears, a trunk, even its own legs, and a body standing more than a meter and a half tall.
To turn Isidro Ferrer’s vision into a large-scale lamp, LZF has again drawn on the experience of the craftsman Manolo Martin.
Just as he did with Fish, Manolo used the “vareta” technique to shape the three spheres which constitute the body and the head of Elephant.
Its luminous heart, at the centre of the sculpture, is diffused through a natural wood veneer internal lining.
DESIGNER
ISIDRO FERRER
From sketches made while travelling on the pages of his ever-present diary, to campaigns for government and in the field of graphic art, nothing is alien to Isidro Ferrer.
A one-time actor, he is now an acclaimed illustrator and graphic designer, and winner of the much sought-after Spanish National Design Award in 2002.
A fervent illustrator and designer —Isidro created the cast of Funny Farm characters and the life-size Elephant and Fish for LZF— his ability to devour what is seen and then create art, may in fact mean he has one of the largest appetites on the planet.
