Elephants… what makes them so, so appealing to kids and adults alike?  Don’t know, but I do know that I’m crazy about them.  So naturally when I spotted this elephant chair /toy I fell in lust, big time.  Made by Vitra, a Swiss furniture company, this hugely adorable elephant was originally designed in 1945 but wasn’t available to buy.  Thanks to the design loving shopping gods out there (whom I regularly pray to), you can now buy it… hooray!  It comes in a range of divinely delicious colours, can be used indoors and out and is just so cool.  Place it with pride in your kiddies room or out in the garden if you want to make the neighbours green.  Or even in the living room to add a dash of quirk to your adult space, that is if  you’ve got any adult space left.  Called the Eames Elephant Chair, I’ve found it on sale for £112 with free delivery (normally £139 plus delivery).  It measures about 415mm high x 410mm wide and 785mm long.  Big enough to make it’s presence felt but not so big as to be the elephant in the room!!
