WOODEN FIGURINE ANIMAL POLE POLE ZODIAC NIKOICHI - SNAKES

On the occasion of the Year of the Snake (2025), here is a limited edition of two snakes as one, as nikoichi indicates in Japanese.

This is a set of two snakes decorated with golden and red ornaments. The slightly curved shape of this snake-shaped figurine gives it the appearance of a smile. Like the lion-dogs of shrines, their mouths take the form of “ah” and “un”.
We wish you a Year of the Snake in perfect harmony.

"Pole pole" means "slowly, little by little" in Swahili. The Japanese maker T-Lab is committed to preserving the craft of woodwork. With its original, simple design, with rounded and soft lines, these little animals become immediately endearing and charming. Each piece is cut, carved, carefully sanded, then hand-painted, making each creation unique!

WOODEN ANIMALS FROM ECO-FRIENDLY SOURCES

T-Lab preserves Albizia Falcata forests by replanting each tree used in its production. This natural product contains no chemical or polluting treatment, neither in the wood nor in the paints used.

A NATURAL AND SIMPLE DECORATIVE OBJECT

The simplicity and gentleness of this animal will soothe you throughout the day. It will easily find its place on your desk; a simple glance at your animal totem will help you forget daily worries.

The perfect balance between the natural colour of the wood and the black paint makes it a unique piece that will fit easily into your home. It will stand out just as well on a bright windowsill as in the shadow of a shelf.

To enhance your interior decoration, place your favourite animal in an environment that highlights this type of design product: a wooden shelf, a desk inspired by northern lands, or as decoration in a child’s room.
