GUNNAR CYRÉN sculpture, zinc, Dansk designs, Japan.
Decorative Scandinavian animal elephant sculpture created exclusively for Dansk Design in the early 1970s by world-renowned Swedish designer Gunnar Cyren. This gorgeous modernist silver-plated figurine of an elephant can be used as a paperweight or decorative object on any modern desk.
Gunnar Cyren is a Swedish glass artist, silversmith, and industrial designer (1931-2013).
He worked for Dansk during the 1970s and created a series of these silver-plated animals that became highly collectible because of their attractive minimalist stylized forms.
The hallmark underside of each piece reads DANSK DESIGNS - JAPAN - GC (for Gunnar Cyren).
