Details

In the early 1940s, Charles and Ray Eames spent several years developing and refining a technique for moulding plywood into three-dimensional shapes, creating a series of furniture items and sculptures in the process. Among these initial designs, the two-part elephant proved to be the most technically challenging due to its tight compound curves, and the piece never went into serial production. One prototype, which was given to Charles's 14-year-old daughter Lucia Eames, was loaned to the Museum of Modern Art in New York for a 1946 exhibition. It is still in the possession of the Eames family today.

Several years ago, the Eames Elephant was also launched in plastic, making it a

vailable to the target group for which it was originally intended: children. Or as a decorative object. This endearing animal puts a lovely touch in any environment.

Material:
- Dyed polypropylene, matt finish.

Charles & Ray Eames

USA 1907 y 1912

Charles and Ray Eames are two of the most influential and iconic designers of the 20th century. Together they created a wealth of designs that are still popular and recognized worldwide. The Eames’ work focused on the creation of furniture, decorative objects and architecture. Their style was characterized by the use of innovative materials, such as fiberglass and molded plastic, and by the creation of objects that were both aesthetic and functional. The Eameses were also interested in architecture and interior design, and created several buildings and exhibition spaces. In addition, they were also committed to education and the dissemination of design. They made films and documentaries about design and architecture, and founded the Eames Institute for Design Research, which continues to promote innovation and creativity today. Their legacy continues to be a source of inspiration for designers and artists around the world.
