What a great way to remember Charles Eames - an elegant elephant designed by the great man himself.
I'm always so intrigued by plywood that has been formed into beautiful curves instead of just straight lines.

This piece was designed by Ray and Charles Eames. NOT JUST CHARLES. It's like ignoring Dolce and only refering to Gabbana.
