Designed by Vittorio Gennari, the Dab Penguin by Bosa captures a unique and powerful moment of pride and triumph, reflected in the distinctive ‘dabbing’ pose.
Crafted using the low-poly technique, the Dab Penguin is defined by clean, minimalist lines and facets accentuating precious metal enamel. The design’s simplicity echoes the penguin’s gradual disappearance, representing these magnificent creatures’ dwindling presence. The sculpture’s form poignantly captures the essence of time running out, making it not only a decorative piece but also a profound statement on the urgency of environmental preservation.
Designed by Vittorio Gennari, the Dab Penguin by Bosa captures a unique and powerful moment of pride and triumph, reflected in the distinctive ‘dabbing’ pose. This gesture, famously struck by athletes after a remarkable performance or by footballers after scoring a goal, symbolises a celebration of great achievement. Emulated by millions of young people worldwide, the dab has become a universal sign of success and joy. However, the sculpture carries a deeper message. With 60% of the world’s penguins having disappeared over the last 50 years, this penguin’s stance seems to declare, “I’m here, and I’m a hero,” highlighting the urgent issue of wildlife conservation.
