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 child’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. The complex curves made the elephant technically unsuitable for mass production at that time. Only in the early 2000s could Vitra realize the design in durable plastic, making the Eames Elephant finally available to the general public and restoring its original function as a children's piece of furniture.
Vitra is worldwide one of the most renowned design brands and is 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 collector’s item and an icon of modern design.
Includes: Original Vitra Certificate of Authenticity!
Dimensions: 39 x 21 x 20.5 cm.
Shipped well-packaged with tracking and tracing code.
Note! Shipping to the United Kingdom is not possible due to Brexit-related shipping complications!
