Slip-cast from fine earthenware, this sculptural piece catches the eye with its green body, long horizontal torso, and forward-stretching neck, which create a dynamic impression of movement even when the figure stands still. Unlike traditional animal figures, the \"Parvi\" series does not depict birds realistically; instead, each bird is given its own name and playful personality, making \"Paavo\" a unique and distinctive design object. As the \"Parvi\" series has increasingly gained value among collectors, well-preserved figures are highly sought-after finds today. Due to its distinctive artistic expression and stable demand in the design market, this piece offers collectors stable, long-term investment value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta content=\"wysihtml\" name=\"copied-from\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arabia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50150277579081,"sku":"859264","price":240.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1803\/8601\/files\/59264TV1.jpg?v=1717593789","url":"https:\/\/www.royalsio2.com\/products\/paavo-parvilintu-howard-smith-arabia","provider":"Royal SiO2","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
