Vitra Eames Elephant Plywood Finish:Walnut The idea behind the AboutThis version of the Eames Elephant from Vitra is presented in its intended plywood and Chestnut or Walnut veneer. The Eames originally envisioned their now iconic Elephant in plywood, back at its conception in 1945. However, due to technological restraints at the time it was never produced. The elephant was originally designed as a childs toy, this is still true but is also now a striking design classic addition to any interior.
