In the early 1940s, Charles and Ray Eames spent several years developing and refining a technique for shaping plywood into three-dimensional forms, creating a variety of furniture and sculptures in the process. Of these early designs, the two-piece elephant proved to be the most technically challenging due to its complex, tight curves, and the piece never went into series production. A prototype, given to Charles's 14-year-old daughter Lucia Eames, was loaned to an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1946. It remains in the possession of the Eames family today.
