Hakobune Wooden Figurine - Galapagos Giant Tortoise
The PolePole Hakobune wooden tortoise figurine
This PolePole wooden tortoise figurine depicts the Galapagos giant tortoise and is part of the Hakobune series, the ark that brings together animals from around the world. The wooden tortoise is hand-carved and hand-painted in Bali, based on a design by the Japanese brand T-lab. In Swahili, “pole pole” means slowly, little by little: a whole philosophy of woodworking.
Each wooden tortoise figurine is cut, carved, sanded and then painted by hand, so each one is slightly different and truly unique.
- Handmade in Bali
- Natural plant-based paint
- Albizia Falcata wood from sustainably managed forests
- Lightweight with a smooth, soft finish
- Each wooden tortoise is unique
- Decorative object, not suitable for young children
An eco-friendly wooden tortoise
Albizia Falcata wood renews itself quickly, and T-lab replants the trees it uses. This wooden tortoise is an entirely natural object, free from chemical treatments and pollutants.
A natural, minimalist decorative piece
Sturdy and serene, this Galapagos tortoise perfectly embodies the pole pole spirit: slow and peaceful. It joins the other animals in the series, such as the Hakobune wooden elephant figurine.
An original gift idea
For a nature lover or a collector of the Hakobune series, this wooden tortoise makes an original and lasting gift.
