Hanno The Gorilla

Hanno the Gorilla is designed by David Weeks for contemporary studio Areaware.

Named after a sixth-century BC Greek voyager who is credited with discovering gorillas, Hanno displays a sustainablE harvested beech wood frame with elastic-band muscles to hold many poses. Hanno's durable wood limbs make them almost impervious to breakage.
