To celebrate the 100th birthday of Charles Eames, Vitra is introducing a limited anniversary edition of the Eames Plywood Elephant, a legendary furniture sculpture that was designed in 1945 but never produced for general distribution and sale. Of the two known prototypes, only one remains in the Eames Family Archives.

That chair is beyond cute! I love Eames chairs--I got one on Officedesigns.com and I don't think I've had a harder time getting up from my book or television show EVER. The website is great too--lots of selection and the product specialists are super friendly. They are always having sales and promo code coupons too.
