This goose is part of IC Design’s re-edition of Antonio Vitali’s wooden animals. It is carved in maple to Vitali’s smooth, rounded design and measures 3.9" × 1.7" × 4.4". The series as a licensed re-edition of Vitali’s work in solid walnut and maple, made in Italy and Germany with the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, NikiTiki of Tokyo and the painter Resly Reis, Vitali’s life companion.
