Dragon is a porcelain sculpture of a powerful, geometrically shaped dragon from the Origami collection. This imposing porcelain dragon, in a limited edition of 777 pieces in honour of Lladró's 70th anniversary, is the latest addition to the Origami collection. The most majestic creature in millenary oriental culture is a universal symbol of power, luck and good omen. Natural mineral pigments have been used for its decoration, covered with a thin layer of metallic oxide to intensify the predominant red colour. A shade enriched by the contrasting golden details that complete the finish of the piece. Like the rest of the pieces in the Origami collection, it represents a contemporary and innovative vision of the traditional Japanese art of origami, in which the geometric shapes produced by the folds of paper are transformed into facets of great sculptural and decorative power.
It is said that there is not just one single reality because our imagination is able to transform it at will. And that is exactly what the Lladró artists have done in the Origami collection, which name is inspired by the abstraction of the Japanese art of folding paper. The animal kingdom, a subject matter in which the brand has always deployed its full creative potential, is interpreted here with a geometric focus removed from any realist vision, offering us a faceted image with manifold sides. Pieces in the perfect size to be combined in any contemporary interiors.
