How could you not fall in love with this collection of more than sixty little figurines, each one more adorable than the next!

Each of these small wooden animals has a very simple shape and it is only with two tones that these very natural coloured animals, made of a very light wood, soft to the touch and delicately sanded by hand, fit in perfectly in our interiors.

Dog or cat? Savannah animals? Polar bear? Koala?

Which of them do you have the most affinity with?

What is the little animal that looks like you, and what would be your totem?

Bringing these little animals into your home is a reminder that they exist; really exist. Their existence is forgotten in our busy lives and reminds us of the urgency to protect them.

It is a way of making them exist by putting them in our living rooms.

When we were children, who did not play with farm animals or dinosaur figurines? And then we grow up, we don't play like we used to, they leave our lives, as if we didn't have time to dwell on them, we ignore them, focused by our screens, we don't see the living world around us anymore.

Take a moment to stop, to pass on, to remember that from one end of the earth to the other, these animals are there in their environment.

Not only in zoos but in their habitat.
