Design Charles & Ray Eames®, 1945
batch-dyed polypropylene, matt surface
Made in Germany by Vitra

"Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality." 
-Charles Eames

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.

 New versions are made from 100% recyclable polypropylene (RE material).

 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 a little bit faster.

Charles and Ray Eames were fascinated by elephants. Many images of these gentle giants are found in Charles' photographic documentations of Indian culture and the circus world. The Eames Elephant was designed as a toy for children, but also as a striking sculptural object that makes a statement in any environment with its vigorous curves and delightful character. There is a playful charm in the way that the Eames' used juvenile motifs to create a vibrant, cheerful idiom that appeals to adults as well as children.

The Eames Elephant is also available in plywood, as well as in a scaled-down version, Eames Elephant (small), which comes in a variety of colors and is also made of plastic.

Wow...Just came to the store because I was looking for a Herman Miller Setu chair. I was about to buy one online but I decided to go to the store and was so happy I did. I was so impressed with the selection they had. But even better then the selection was the help I received. For a high end store in South Beach I was so pleased with the owner Jesse his product knowledge. Overall it was a GREAT experience.

Finding and purchasing a dream home is like finding the perfect lover therefore, attention must be paid to décor. This store has it all from Philippe Starck's Louis Ghost armchair, to the beautiful and timeless Emeco aluminum chairs designed to last 150 years, at least that's the designer's sales pitch. My favorite piece was a cream reclining Italian leather sofa that screams comfort and elegance and could be perfectly paired with Herman Miller's Eames lounge chair and ottoman in white Italian leather. The service here is excellent and owner is very knowledgeable on all the brands. I am yet to find the perfect home, but once I do, I'll be revisiting.

I placed an order on-line for some small decorative bowls but was not sure whether they would be delivered on time, so I called the store. Marvin - who I do not know, by the way - followed up with the supplier for me and made sure that the delivery was expedited. He stayed in touch with me until he was certain that I had received my order, on time and that I was pleased with it. I felt that he was particularly attentive and interested in providing good customer service, and I appreciated it. By the way, the bowls are lovely and, I assume, representative of other items that the store may have to offer. Thank you, Marvin!
