Vitra's Eames Elephant was designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1945. The Elephant was originally made from plywood, but due to its challenging and detailed shape, it was only put into production later, first as a plastic version and then in plywood. original. The Eames designed the Elephant as a toy and stool for children, but it has become a popular design classic that can be used anywhere.
To celebrate the iconic piece's 75th anniversary in 2020, Vitra released the Eames Elephant in gray-dyed plywood as a limited, numbered edition of 999 pieces. Not only does the gorgeous gray finish keep the plywood's beautiful natural grain visible, it also pays homage to the color of the toy's natural counterpart.
