Pine Cone 24-645

About Pine Cone 24-645

Floyd Elzinga’s pine cones are uniquely beautiful table top sculptures inspired by nature. These contemporary pieces are hand forged from metal—this one in stainless steel. The fine detail of each piece is enhanced by a highly polished and reflective finish. Elzinga’s work masterfully marries an industrial material with an iconic organic form.

“Floyd does in three dimensions what the Group of Seven did in two, his style is particularly his own”. – J. Long, art critic
