The Fauna series sculptures are a lineup of animal-inspired art pieces that pay homage to a range of almost-extinct species to raise awareness about the dire situation of their habitat. The sculptures consist of an axolotl, an Andean bear and the blue macaw, which are each either endangered or extinct in the wild. The pieces are each achieved using natural materials including oak and walnut along with low-tech machinery to give each one a contemporary yet rustic feel.
The Fauna series sculptures are the design work of Juan Carlos Franco and Jose Bermudez, and feature a minimalist aesthetic that subtly conveys their form to the onlooker. It's only after learning more about the inspiration behind the pieces that the true nature of their design is revealed to make them a beautiful but bittersweet decor collection.
