Inspired from the Eames Elephant, Hella Jongerius designed the Elephant Mousepad for Vitra. The practical companion at the PC shows the famous Elephant from Charles & Ray Eames and it consists of two leather layers.

The pad enables a safe navigation at the computer. The treatment and the material are Vitra-typical high and the design of the Elephant Mousepad unimpeachable. The Mousepad shows the famous Plywood Elephant from Charles & Ray Eames from the year 1945. With its distinctive forms it is not only one of the most famous objects of the design married couple, but also a recognized design classic.

Initially the Elephant Mousepad was exclusively available in the shop of the Vitra museum where it soon became a top seller. Because of the high success, Vitra took the pad into its regular assortment.
