Shiny Elephants was founded by product designer, Emily Platt, to create beautiful expressive objects for the home that will become vessels for your stories, providing inspiration and delight when you least expect it.
Where the Story Begins...
Emily's favorite uncle and grandmother were masters of turning the humble and raw into the beautiful and refined. As a descent from a line of artisans and craftspersons, Emily came into her passion for creating and building honestly.
Emily's grandmother had a fondness for elephants and, in her travels across continents, amassed a unique collection of elephant figurines. She gave this collection to Emily to always remind her of the rich diversity of culture, people, and vision that permeates the globe. Each elephant is a tiny expression of how different individuals from different backgrounds can interpret and represent a singular concept in a unique artistic way.
Her grandmother's elephant collection is a reminder of her artistic roots and the universal language of art. This collection inspires her to create designs that tell a story all people, no matter how different, can understand.
But that is just where the story begins. Emily believes objects are so much more than their function. They become intertwined with the memories of their owners — time capsules around the homes that incite remembrance and emotion in their owners throughout their lives.
