New sculpture, stool and high chair in one, from the brand Vitra and designed by Charles & Ray Eames in the United States of America. The item is white in color, and on top sits the official Vitra emblem, and on the bottom the decorative object is signed.

This Vitra elephant was originally designed in the early 1940s by Charles and Ray Eames. By the time Charles and Ray Eames spent many years developing and refining a technique for bending three-dimensional plywood and laminated wood forms. Over time they designed a range of furniture and sculptures. Of all the original designs, the two-piece elephant proved the greatest technical challenge due to its strong multiple curves. The techniques of the time were not capable of achieving a serial production of the elephant. The 14-year-old Lucia Eames, daughter of Charles, received a prototype that was later lent for an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1946. This prototype remains in the possession of the Eames family.

In the early 2000s, the Eames Elephant was released in plastic, making it accessible to the originally intended audience: children. Thus, the elephant can be used as an iconic design piece but also as a toy.
