GIRAFFE IN LOVE XL by Marcantonio

Giraffe in Love XL

available Indoor or Outdoor

Love makes people crazy, everyone knows that. But what is going to happen when Cupid’s arrow hits a 4-meters-high giraffe? Marcantonio’s visionary sketches answered that question by creating Giraffe in Love, a dreamy giraffe holding a classic Marie-Thérèse style chandelier. Giraffe in Love Outdoor is scaled to the size of a real young giraffe and is suitable for outdoor settings, thanks to its wind- and water-resistant chandelier.

Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba was born in 1976 in Massalombarda, Italy.
He attended the Art Institute and the Academy of Fine Arts.

Immediately after graduation, he began working in the theatre scene and collaborating with architects on various projects. Soon he started creating unique pieces alongside his art production, and step by step the two paths began to merge.

For over 10 years he worked for local private or public commissions. Connections between Man and Nature are his favourite theme, interpreting both the dynamics and the beauty of nature, and showing how human attitudes alter the original.

He loves thinking about his work as a direct continuation of what he used to do when he was a child, playing with everything he found, and creating what his mind imagined. Today, when looking for the aesthetic component and concept, he takes ideas from the same sources he drew on while playing, daydreaming with everything that normally surrounds him. He learned from art how an idea can be elegant, which is why he's always looking for pure, essential concepts. 

"I never give up irony; irony is a serious matter. If a good idea is even fun, I cannot resist realising it" Marcantonio.
