The molded plywood division of Evans Products Company was kept busy by the Eameses, first during World War II manufacturing splints and stretchers, then afterward with their sturdy molded plywood furniture. The elephant was among their first designs for children. Photo 3 of 11 in "Living in a Modern Way" at LACMA by Erika Heet
