Eames Demetrious commissioned this playful animation ‘A gathering of Elephants’ in honour of his grandparent Charles & Ray Eames moulded plywood elephant, designed as a children’s toy in 1945 but never put into production. Vitra are producing a limited number of the elephants to celebrate Eames 100th birthday.

What a great film and sweet way to commemorate the centenary of Charles Eames’ birth. Are the elephants available in Australia?
