This charming carved hedgehog is a celebration of the encounter between art and nature. The sculpture captures the friendly essence of the animal through a stylized and organic design that skillfully plays with material contrasts.
Crafted with the mastery that only Val Gardena artisans can express, the lower body and snout are shaped from maple wood, hand-polished to a smooth, silky finish that enhances the light, natural grain. Its 11 cm size makes it perfect for any corner of the home.
The visual and tactile contrast is created by the back, where a section of darker, heavily textured wood—evoking the roughness of bark—abstractly simulates the quills. This detail offers a unique sensory experience, while the gentle expression, given by the small eye and engraved smile, makes this hedgehog a small design masterpiece that adds warmth and character to any environment.
