I'm feeling a little wild this week with no work to tame me, so I thought I'd wrangle together a collection of some of my favorite animal sculptures used in interior design.
Animal sculptures are a tricky thing- they can definitely fall into the creepy, taxidermic (is that a word?) downright-scaring-guests-away category. However, the right piece can really make or break the design of a room. Some designers layer in animal sculptures in a peek-a-boo manner while others choose to make them the focal point of a room. Personally, I love the quirk, humor and unexpectedness of an animal sculpture- it's like a living punchline.

What do you think? Would you ever / do you decorate with animal sculptures? Check out my faves and then let's discuss:
Anna Sui's on my side.
Hey buddy, save some room for my coffee. Jerk.
Don't be sheepish.
The above 3 images are examples of Francois-Javier Lalanne; the OG of sculptural animal design.
Kelly Wearstler rides the animal sculpture train... or horse, rather.
First reaction: Is that a deer? Yes, yes it is.
COUNT ME!
The pièce de résistance- a life-sized cowstriche (also featured
here). Design by Julie Hillman, clearly my soul sister. This guy might be a little loco, but think of the possibilities! I'd call him The Closer. Why? Why not.
So, what do you think? Are you wild too?
