Vitra Eames Plywood Elephant
Charles and Ray Eames developed a toy elephant made of plywood in 1945, however, this piece never went into production.
One prototype was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1946 and still survives in the Eames family archives today.
After a limited edition in 2007, Vitra has now launched serial production of the Eames Elephant in plywood for the very first time.
Key Features:
- Original Eames Design
- Decorative or Practical Design
- American Cherry or Ash Grey Finish
Wellworking Says...
"From the Eames achives, the plywood elephant in a technical marvel thanks to its seamlessly bent wood construction."
DELIVERY SERVICE
Wellworking provides an award-winning delivery service for larger items (i.e. chairs, desks, tables, sofas etc.) for all mainland UK addresses free of charge.
All chairs are delivered fully assembled and ready to use.
The installation and/or assembly of desks onsite is optional and chargeable.
Delivery is provided by our own, fully trained staff and in one hour time slots. We remove all packaging and take it away with us for recycling. We offer virtual user training and set-up service if requested for an additional cost (contact info@wellworking.co.uk if you require this service).
Wellworking does not ship or sell any items outside mainland UK addresses (Northern Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, etc.) due to the bulky nature of our products.

Deliveries of larger items to more remote areas (i.e. Highlands) may take a few days longer, but are still at no additional charge.
Smaller items (i.e. monitor arms, mice, accessories etc.) are sent via courier and must be signed for on delivery. Tracking numbers are available so that deliveries can be tracked every step of the way.
