Gli Eames Elephants a Designjunction

Destinate a una raccolta fondi a favore di Teddy’s Wish le 21 versioni create da architetti e designer internazionali dell’iconico Eames Elephant, esposte a Designjunction

All'interno della Victoria House, dal 24 al 27 settembre, Designjunction presenterà A Child’s Dream, un'installazione curata da Anthony Dickens e supportata da Vitra. Si tratta di 21 versioni del famoso Eames Elephant, l’elefante-giocattolo progettato da Charles e Ray Eames nel 1945, tutte rivisitate da designer e architetti internazionali.

Gli elefanti, dai pattern e materiali più vari, saranno venduti in un’asta beneficenza online sino al 4 ottobre. Ogni pezzo ha un costo che varia tra le 300 e 360 sterline e il ricavato sarà interamente devoluto all’associazione Teddy’s Wish per supportare la ricerca delle cause della SIDS – sindrome della morte improvvisa infantile, conosciuta anche come “morte in culla” – e aiutare le famiglie che hanno subito la perdita di un figlio nei primi mesi di vita.

Al secondo anno, l’iniziativa A Child’s Dream vede la collaborazione di studi di design e architettura tra cui Aukett Swanke, Lee Broom, CKR, Fredrikson Stallard, Industrial Facility, Kenneth Grange, Gensler, Eley Kishimoto, André Klauser, Max Lamb, Philippe Malouin, Michael Marriott, Kit Miles, Neri & Hu, Patternity, Russell Pinch, Raw Edges, Zandra Rhodes, Terence Woodgate e Sebastian Wrong .
