Part of the Elephant collection, this exquisite piece depicts the iconic animal symbol of the African continent. The hand-painted motif of a herd of elephants on the African landscape is rendered with warm and rich colors that result from the laborious process of layering paint on the delicate surface of unfertilized emptied ostrich eggshells. A 925 silver base with three elephants made with the lost wax casting technique hold the egg on their raised trunks. This piece will be a well received housewarming gift that will be cherished for generations.

Welcome to our colourful world
Corsi Design is an artisan company founded in 2003, when Gaetano Pesce and Andrea Corsi began to collaborate, with the intention of launching the Fish Design collection on the international market, giving full visibility to this unique and visionary project, which speaks of singularity and uniqueness, human first and foremost, in opposition to standardization and standardization. The formula of the project is in the resin, capable of taking on infinite shapes and textures, and in the role of the craftsman, who has to make each piece with his own hands, defining its colors and material distribution.
In 2004, at the Salone del Mobile, the project was officially presented in Milan. Since then, all the pieces of the Fish Design collection are made in Italy, in Andrea Corsi's workshop.
The intent to evolve from the standard, celebrating the humanity of divergence, is part of the company's DNA.In 2007, Andrea Corsi began new collaborations with internationally renowned designers, such as Alessandro Mendini, Fernando and Humberto Campana, Enzo Mari, and Paola Navone. Each collection comes from the desire to tell new ways of interpreting resin: from the rigorous approach of Lezioni by Enzo Mari, to the cosmopolitan spirit of One-More and One-Off by Paola Navone; from the "wild" attitude of NativoCampana by Fernando & Humberto Campana, to the dreamy expression of Mendinismi by Alessandro Mendini.
In every Corsi Design object it is possible to see the hand of the craftsman who created it. No piece is the same as another: they are all unique and different.
Soft, colorful, sensual, Corsi Design pieces have an expressive power that goes far beyond the object itself: they are handmade works that tell the story of those who imagined them, those who made them, and those who own them. They are works that invite everyone to find themselves in the diversity of the unique piece.
