Q: Why is this hedgehog specifically "turned to the left" — isn't it the same as the others?
No — the direction of the gaze is a distinct sculpture, not just a photographic variant. This model has the snout, body, and posture oriented to the left, which fundamentally changes how it integrates into a composition. It is designed as a counterpart to the model turned to the right — together, the two form a coherent pair that can be arranged face to face, back to back, or in a path through a space.
Q: Do you have to buy both (left + right)?
No — this hedgehog works perfectly on its own. Its size (22.5 cm, 900 g) and the quality of its sculpture make it a complete and autonomous decorative piece. The purchase of the right-turned counterpart is an option that significantly enriches the composition possibilities, but it is not a necessity.
Q: What is the difference between this hedgehog and those from the multi-size collection?
The positioning and specificity. The multi-size collection offers hedgehogs in 4 sizes all oriented the same way — their argument is the size gradation to create a family. This left-turned hedgehog is an individual piece with a specific orientation — its argument is the directional composition with its counterpart. The two ranges are complementary and can coexist in the same space.
Q: Can this hedgehog stay outside all year round?
Yes for a balcony or terrace — the polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and treated for UV resistance. The technical sheet mentions balcony & terrace. For a garden on the ground in full exposure, a slightly sheltered location is preferable to preserve the hand-painted details in the long term. Its weight of 900 g ensures excellent stability outdoors.
Q: Is this a good gift for a gardening enthusiast?
Very suitable — especially if you give both (left + right) together. A duo of hedgehogs facing each other, in a nice package, is an immediately readable, charming gift that can be personalized according to the recipient's space. The hedgehog is universally perceived as the symbol of a natural and lively garden — a gift that says "I love your garden as much as you do."
