Eames Elephant Plywood by Charles and Ray Eames

Charles and Ray Eames developed a toy elephant made of plywood in 1945; however, this piece never went into production. One prototype was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1946 and still survives in the Eames family archives today.
After issuing a first limited edition in 2007, Vitra commenced serial production of the Eames Elephant in plywood in 2018. It is available as a dark version in European walnut and a light version in chestnut.
