The elephant, which Charles and Ray Eames initially developed from plywood in 1945, is available in plastic in various colours - as a toy or as a decorative object, not just in the children's room. Whether as an elegant wooden object in the living room, as a robust plastic toy for the children's room and outdoors or as a decorative, small animal figure - the friendly animal with its striking, large ears makes many a child's and parent's heart beat faster.
