About this Piece
A minimalist, sculptural silhouette of one of the most beloved animals — these wooden elephant figurines are rendered in walnut and Baltic birch, sized to sit on a shelf, a mantel, or in a nursery. The form is smooth, simple, and intentionally pared back, giving the piece a quiet presence in a room without demanding attention. Offered in three sizes — Small, Medium, and Large — or as a set of three that reads as a family. A thoughtful gift, and a piece the giver often ends up keeping.
Finished with a hand-rubbed oil and wax blend, the piece has a matte, warm look that enhances the natural grain of the walnut.

About Doris
From Justin, founder of Relic Modern™:
Doris the Elephant, named after my grandmother, is a special piece for me. Doris Coffman (b. 1930, d. 2007) didn’t live the easiest of lives. At a young age she lost most of her sight and was considered legally blind. As she progressed through life, she lost most of her hearing, suffered from diabetes, and survived cancer. Despite the hardships, she found Joy. Her first love was her husband, Jim, and they shared a bond that has likely yet to be rivaled — it was an embodiment of the word “love” itself. Her second love was her collection of elephant figurines. For whatever reason, she loved elephants and her home was filled with hundreds of elephant statues, toys, photos, tables, and various tchotchkes.
This sculptural elephant has been created in her memory.

Real Furniture,Made by Real Hands
I build every piece by hand in my Minneapolis workshop — one maker, one standard, no shortcuts. While big-box stores fill warehouses with particle board and mass-produced templates, Relic Modern™ starts with real, high-quality wood and ends with something built to last. Some things are worth buying from a real person.

Disposable by Design
Mid-century modern isn't a trend — it's a discipline. Clean lines, reasonable proportions, and modest, organic shapes. At Relic Modern™, that means stripping every design down to its essential form and building it from high-quality Baltic birch with walnut or maple faces, finished with a hand-rubbed oil and wax blend that lets the wood speak for itself.
