About Pine Cone 23-547

This playful pop art sculpture of a pine cone is by Canada’s Floyd Elzinga. Hand forged from corten steel, this tabletop piece emulates the natural shape and patina of a pine cone. Elzinga is known for creating uniquely beautiful metalwork that is inspired by nature.

"What I love about seeds is their rugged durability and adept design involved in promoting self-reproduction." Floyd Elzinga
