AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vitra Eames Elephant – Charles & Ray Eames – White – Signed

Iconic Vitra Eames Elephant in white, designed by Charles & Ray Eames. This versatile object can be used as a sculpture, a children's chair, or a stool, and has grown into one of the most recognizable design classics of the 20th century.
The piece bears the official Vitra logo on the top and is marked on the bottom. The elephant is in good condition and serves as both a stylish decorative object and a functional piece of furniture for children.

The original design dates from the 1940s, when Charles and Ray Eames experimented with shaping plywood into three-dimensional forms. Due to the complex curves, the elephant proved technically unsuitable for mass production at the time. Only in the early 2000s did Vitra realize the design in durable plastic, making the Eames Elephant finally available to the general public and returning to its original function as a children's piece of furniture.

Vitra is globally one of the most renowned design brands, known for producing timeless designs by, among others, Charles & Ray Eames, George Nelson, Isamu Noguchi, Jean Prouvé, and Verner Panton. The Eames Elephant is a beloved collectible and an icon of modern design.

Includes: Original Vitra Certificate of Authenticity!
Dimensions: 39 x 21 x 20.5 cm.

Well-packed and shipped with tracking.
Note! Shipping to the United Kingdom is not possible due to Brexit-related complications with shipping!
