Vintage elephant-shaped rattan side table, attrib. Vivai del Sud, Italy, 1960 - 1970

Rare sculptural rattan side table depicting 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: large delicately curved ears, an elegantly coiled trunk, and a body girded with a decorative twisted frieze typical of Italian design from this period. The whole rests on a rectangular base that accentuates 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 was repainted by a previous owner and shows some slight marks of use, testifying to its history and authenticity.

A vintage piece full of character, ideal for a bohemian, Riviera, mid-century, or eclectic interior.
