Vitra - Eames Elephant Stool White

Vitra Eames elephant white.

The Elephant is a design by Charles & Ray Eames from 1945.

The Elephant is loved by both young and old. The majestic animal of the savannah in a lovely shape in distinct and special colors. The oversized ears increase the not-so-small huggable content of the Elephant. Designed in 1945 but still with enormous appeal.

Can be used outside, and can also serve as a children's chair.

The elephant is 35 centimeters wide, 42 centimeters high and 41 centimeters deep.

The designer:

Ray and Charles Eames were an American designer couple whose name is known to anyone with an interest in modern design. Charles Eames was born in 1907 in St. Louis, Missouri. He studied architecture at the University of Washington and, at the invitation of the Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen, continued his studies at the Cranbrook Academy of Arts, Michigan in 1940. There he met Eero Saarinen, with whom he entered a competition called " Organic Design in Home Decor" organized by MoMA in New York. Eames and Saarinen won the competition using a plywood molding technique originally developed by Alvar Aalto. In Cranbrook, Charles Eames also met her future wife Ray, and the couple married in 1941.
