Almost no other animal enjoys such popularity as the elephant. Admired for its majestic size and loved for its proverbial good-humor, it is part of our everyday experience as a child’s cuddly toy, a storybook character and a majestic creature. Charles and Ray Eames also succumbed to their charms and in 1945 designed a toy elephant made of plywood. However, it never made it into mass production. The Eames elephant is now available for the first time in a plastic version for those it was originally intended for: children. Whether as a toy (also for outdoor use) or as an item for children’s bedrooms, this friendly-looking animal with its distinctive, huge floppy ears should make the heart of many a child (and parent) beat just that little bit faster.

Material: batch-dyed polypropylene, matte surface.

Charles & Ray Eames

In September 1940 Ray began studies at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, where she met Charles, marrying him the following year. Settling in Los Angeles, California, they would lead an outstanding career in design and architecture. Ray died in Los Angeles in 1988, ten years to the day after Charles.
