The Liza Elephant in Dark Oyster carries a botanical embroidery across its entire form — large open blooms in warm coral-pink with raised, densely worked raspberry centres sit alongside smaller flowers in soft rose and cream, connected by spreading stems with olive-green leaves. The embroidery travels from the legs up across the body and onto the ear, which bears its own bold central bloom. The ground is a crushed dark oyster silk velvet, warm and rose-toned, the pile shifting between pale blush and deeper taupe as the light moves across it. The tail ends in a champagne-gold tassel.
Designed in Germany and made by hand in India, each Liza Elephant is embroidered on the frame, piece by piece, with fabric dyed to Drechsel's own colour specifications.
