Lucky Little Elephant
Luck in hand
and covered in flowers,
fortune and all that is good.
I am everything
that is lucky,
I am a lucky little elephant.
如意花吉象
如意在手
好花满身
幸运,美好
我集一身
吉祥
好吉象
Design Concept
A small elephant with big ears, covered in flower, embracing a ruyi - even the soles of its feet are covered in ruyi. Lucky Little Elephant is a modern interpretation of a classic form in an accessible form.
Breaking from traditional confines, this design tout familiarity and accessibility. This is LIULI’s take on Art movements such as urban, pop, neo-pop and Superflat. Floral dolls are part of our heritage. It takes on a new look when rendered in liuli. Boasting an ample shape that captures and emits light through a floral body, each part of this sculpture is created with precision from form to detail. Does it even have eyes? It doesn’t seem like it but they’re there. Our designers have taken an abstract approach, using the blank space to frame out and allude to their presence.
小花布象,大大耳朵,一身花草纹,怀抱如意,连脚底都是吉祥的如意纹。不同于传统神兽造型的象,《如意花吉象》身具时代的潮流美学,满满的亲和力,无论是谁都会想立刻捧在手心。
此作品设计有传统玩具花布娃娃的概念,琉璃的材质和潮流艺术的表达方式,赋予了它全新的形象,从传统走出,让琉璃更有亲和力。圆滚滚的身体,经过设计师有意的设计,让光在琉璃裡有足够空间折射,一身的花草纹样,不是对花布图案的简单複刻,而是对光的精緻勾勒。它有眼睛吗? 琉璃材质的透光让抽象的雕塑裡形成一个有趣的想像空间, 我们可以想像, 它有时是闭眼的,依偎著如意, 充满喜悦与满足。我们也可以想像, 它的眼睛大到充满眼框, 因为光。
