- Context: Charles and Ray Eames were fascinated by elephants and designed this playful plywood elephant in 1945. However, due to the technical challenges of its tight curves, it never went into mass production, and only two were ever made during their lifetime. To celebrate Charles Eames' 100th birthday in 2007, Vitra and the Eames Office collaborated to create a limited edition of the plywood elephant, marking the first time the piece was commercially produced. The successful reception led to the tooling being used to create a more affordable plastic version and, ten years later, to a full production run of the plywood elephant in American cherry. In 2020, to commemorate the elephant's 75th anniversary, Vitra launched another limited run of 999 pieces in a special grey-stained wood.

查尔斯和雷·伊姆斯对大象充满着兴趣，他们在1945年设计了这款充满趣味的胶合板大象。然而，由于其紧致曲线的技术挑战，它从未进入大规模生产，在他们有生之年仅制造过两件。为纪念查尔斯·伊姆斯100岁诞辰，Vitra与伊姆斯办公室在2007年合作推出这款胶合板大象的限量版，标志着该作品首次商业化生产。市场反响良好，促使模具被用于制造更经济的塑料版本，十年后在美国樱桃木材上实现了胶合板大象的全面生产。2020年，为纪念大象的75周年，Vitra又推出999件的特别灰色木材限量版。
