Giraffe Wall Hook for Nursery & Kids Room

Nova is a collection of thoughtful and elegant 3D designs.
I build each project around three complementary worlds:

• Nova.conect – smart objects and home automation integration
• Nova.höm – minimalist decor and everyday functional objects
• Nova.tot – safe and sensory accessories for young children

Each creation reflects a commitment to clean aesthetics, practical design, and smooth integration—whether in a connected home, a refined interior, or a family space.

Add a playful, practical touch to your child’s room with this giraffe-shaped wall hook. Designed for multi-color or single-color printing, it’s fully compatible with all animals in the Nova.tot collection.
The hook mounts easily and includes a removable giraffe hoof cover—magnetic or glued—that neatly hides the fasteners.

Also available: 

• NovaHook – Fox
• NovaHook - Penguin

• Magnetic or adhesive hoof cover
• Easy assembly with no supports (except minimal under screw holes)
