DESCRIPTION

Porcelain sculpture of a golden dragon inspired by the art of origami. Limited edition of 888 units. Buy it now at Lladró Sydney, Australia.

The dragon is one of the most powerful symbols in Eastern imagination. Associated with wisdom, good fortune, and protection, it adopts a new identity in this creation through a renewed aesthetic that blends tradition, design, and craftsmanship. Inspired by the Japanese art of paper folding, this dragon is composed of faceted volumes that transform the classic lines of origami into a sculpture with strong visual energy. Its angular forms, dynamic posture, and the tension in its silhouette evoke power and movement.

The golden finish enhances the sculptural energy of the piece. To achieve this effect, we use natural mineral pigments coated with a fine layer of metallic oxide, intensifying the surface reflections while maintaining the purity of the colour. The result is a striking creation with deep symbolic and decorative value. Dragon is part of a limited series of 888 units, entirely handcrafted using traditional porcelain-making techniques with a contemporary approach. Every step in the process honours the artisanal essence that sets our creations apart.

This piece belongs to the Origami collection, a series of sculptures that reinterpret the animal world through geometric abstraction, with an aesthetic rooted in contemporary design.
