Product information

Design: Charles and Ray Eames, 1945

Concept: This legendary design from 1945 was originally designed in plywood. Only two prototypes were produced and exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Only one of the original elephants is left today and it is found in the family. The iconic elephant was originally designed as a decoration for the home, but is today also produced in polypropylene and is available in both a large original version and a small version for children, where it can be used as a chair. Whether the elephant is used as art or in the children's room, in exactly the color that suits the home, its shapes and designs will have an unspeakable charm. Eames Elephant is approved according to the GS and CE safety standards.

About the designers: The couple Charles Ormond Eames Jr. (1907-1978) and Bernice Alexandra "Ray" Eames, born Kaiser, (1912-1988) were American designers. With each their background within resp. industrial furniture design (Charles) and art (Ray) they met in 1940 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Detroit. In 1941, they married and began experimenting with three-dimensional molded plywood, with the goal of producing affordable and comfortable chairs. Due to World War II, their experimental work was interrupted and only resumed in 1946, when they presented an exhibition of their furniture designs at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Then it picked up speed. They entered into an agreement with The Herman Miller Company, which began producing their furniture. In 1957, Vitra entered into a licensing agreement with Herman Miller and began production of Charles and Ray Eames' designs for Europe and the Middle East. It was the start of Vitra's furniture production, which is why the Eames couple has had a large influence on Vitra as a design company and their values and goals permeate even Vitra to this day.
