The Elephant Stool by designer Sori Yanagi, reissued by the Vitra Design Museum, is one of the most famous creations in post-war Japanese design. This small stool has stirred desire ever since 1954 with its clear formal language and functionality. Designed for indoor use as well as balconies and gardens, this stackable stool can also be easily transported, for picnics, for example.
Vitra was founded in 1950 by Willi Fehlbaum and Erika Fehlbaum. The design furniture company Vitra is located near Basel, in Switzerland. Starting in 1981, the brand Vitra expanded and opened many subsidiaries around the world. The founders spotted the Eames chairs, including the Eames armchairs, the Vitra tables and the office chairs created by Charles and Ray Eames, Antonio Citterio or also the Bouroullec brothers.
