Originally designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1945, this playful yet functional piece was first unveiled at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1946.

The Eames Elephant serves not only as a delightful toy but also as a unique piece of home décor or a whimsical stool for the little ones. Its large, expressive ears and sleek silhouette make it a standout design element, bringing playful sophistication to a space.
