In stock (can be backordered)

From first cave drawings in the stone age to stylised interpretations of the theme in our time, animal figures have always been part of our home environment. The design of the Olifant by Andreas Kowalewski is a sculptural exploration of realism and abstraction to create an object that enriches the modern living room. Each Olifant, available either in porcelain or solid wood, is unique and is made in Germany in a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern production machinery. This Olifant is made of porcelain and wears Flash Orange, a bright, vivid orange. There are also a matching “Cat” and “Dog” in Flash Orange.

The survival of the African elephant species is in great danger, and caussa wants to draw attention to this. With every Olifant purchased, a portion of the revenue automatically goes to the organization Save Africa’s Elephants (www.reaev.de), which fosters young orphaned elephants and returns them to the wild.

An elephant that doesn't look like a souvenir: the Olifant by Andreas Kowalewski is an abstract elephant figurine in porcelain, 12.7 cm tall and just right for a shelf, sideboard or desk. It also supports a good cause: with every Olifant sold, part of the proceeds goes to Save Africa’s Elephants.
The porcelain Olifant comes in many glazes, from calm tones to strong colors such as Sun Yellow. The solid wood Olifant comes in oak, walnut and maple, for example oak; the grain makes every piece unique. Porcelain adds a splash of color, wood feels warm and natural.
Andreas Kowalewski runs his own industrial and furniture design studio in Munich. A trained carpenter, he studied industrial design at Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen and spent around ten years at Philips Design in Amsterdam and China, most recently as Creative Design Director. Today he designs for brands such as Carl Hansen & Son, Ligne Roset, Normann Copenhagen, Woud and Lamy; his work has received more than 30 design awards, including iF and Red Dot awards and a German Design Award in Gold. Since 2021 he has also been a visiting professor at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle. He also designed “Cat” and “Dog”.
Yes. The porcelain Olifants are made in Steinwiesen, Upper Franconia – one of Germany’s traditional porcelain regions. The wooden Olifants are made by a joinery and wood-turning workshop in the Münsterland region that we very much enjoy working with.
With every Olifant purchased, a portion of the revenue automatically goes to the organization Save Africa’s Elephants (www.reaev.de), which fosters young orphaned elephants and returns them to the wild.
Yes, if the form is reduced. Olifant moves between realism and abstraction: it is instantly recognizable as an elephant but does without naturalistic details and looks more like a small sculpture.
Yes. Cat, Dog and Olifant were all designed by Andreas Kowalewski and share the same reduced design language. There are also a matching “Cat” and “Dog” in Flash Orange. Together they make a small animal family for your shelf.
Dust it with a soft cloth and, if needed, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. We recommend cleaning by hand.
