Vitra

Almost no other animal enjoys such popularity as the elephant. Admired for its majestic size and loved for its proverbial good-humour, it is part of our everyday experience as a child's cuddly toy, a storybook character and a majestic creature. The Eames elephant is now available for the first time in a plastic version for those it was originally intended for: children. This friendly-looking animal with its distinctive, over-sized ears is bound to bring cheer and enjoyment to many a child's and parent's heart.

Vitra has manufactured furniture designs by Charles & Ray Eames and George Nelson since 1957. The company has developed a wide range of furniture for the office, home and public spaces. Yet Vitra is more than just a design-oriented manufacturing company. The name also stands for the Vitra Design Museum, for a collection of modern furniture and its accompanying archive, for workshops and publications on topics of design, and for an architectural concept that unites buildings by designers all over the world.
