The Lucie Kaas Baby Elephant is a 4.3-inch (11 cm) wooden figurine for styling bookshelves, desks, entry consoles and display niches. It works in Scandinavian, Nordic and modern schemes, where natural wood softens glass, metal and painted walls.

We have been curating design-led pieces since 2009, and small accents like this are how we finish a room: one natural object with a story on every shelf.

Best Rooms and Placement

Living-room shelving, a home-office desk, a hotel or boutique display, a reception counter, or a high nursery shelf as decor. Group it with books and ceramics, or pair the two woods side by side.

Planning Notes

• Height 4.3 in (11 cm): sized for shelves and desks.
• Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid uneven fading.
• Decorative only: place out of reach of small children.

Who This Is Not For

• Lucie Kaas states that its wooden animals are not toys and are not suitable for children; they are for decorative purposes only.
• Anyone who needs matched, identical pieces for a display, as grain varies piece to piece.
• Bright, sun-facing windows.

Buy Once: Care and Durability

Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Lucie Kaas advises keeping wooden animals away from direct sunlight and moving them occasionally so the color changes evenly over time. Grain and color variations are natural.

Designer and Maker

Designed in 1961 by Gunnar Flørning with Danish illustrator Harry Vedøe, and produced today by Lucie Kaas, the Copenhagen design house founded in 2010 by Esben and Ellora Rasmussen.

“Take care of them, and they will take care of you.” — Lucie Kaas, on its wooden animals

Why We Carry It
