EO Play Elephant Table – Beech Kids Table by Marc Venot

A solid European beech kids’ table by Marc Venot, featured in Phaidon’s Design for Children and used in Four Seasons and La Réserve kids’ spaces, according to EO.

The EO Play Elephant Table has a friendly, welcoming look that invites storytelling and adventure, with sophisticated lines that appeal to parents. It is made from fine European beech wood in a matte lacquer finish, sized for ages 3–11, and made in the EU. It was designed by Marc Venot, a Paris industrial designer who trained at ENSCI–Les Ateliers, worked with Hermès and Cartier before opening his studio in 2011, and was a 2016 laureate of the Grand Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris. EO (short for “Elements Optimal”) is a Danish design house founded in Copenhagen in 2013 by Nicole & Tor Vitner Servé. Its EO PLAY line is a luxury collection of design objects for children, made with independent designers from around the world.

Why we carry it

We’ve been curating design-led pieces since 2009, and the Elephant Table is one of the few children’s pieces with a real design pedigree. According to EO it appeared in Phaidon’s Design for Children and Architectural Digest, furnished the Four Seasons Megève Kids Club, and was sold at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York.

Buy once: durability and care

Beech and a matte lacquer, made to be passed on. EO’s care advice: wipe with a damp cloth and, if needed, a mild soap solution, then dry right after with a clean cloth. New wood reacts to sunlight, so don’t leave objects in one spot for the first 8 weeks to avoid uneven color.

Safety

Sized for ages 3–11. Adult supervision is always wise around kids’ furniture (our advice).

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of the EO Play Elephant Table?

EO lists it at 75 × 55 × 48 cm (29.5 × 21.7 × 19 in). (The distributor’s listing repeats the Elephant Chair’s measurements, so we use EO’s own figures for the table.)

What ages is the Elephant Table for?

EO and the distributor both give 3–11 years.

Does the Elephant Table come with chairs?

No, this is the table only. EO designed a matching Elephant Chair; it isn’t currently available from the US distributor.

How do I clean and care for the beech Elephant Table?

EO recommends wiping it with a damp cloth, with a mild soap solution if needed, then drying it right away. New wood reacts to sunlight, so EO advises not leaving anything in the same spot on the table for the first 8 weeks to avoid uneven color.

Is the Elephant Table only for a playroom?

It suits playrooms, kids’ rooms, family kitchens and hotel kids’ clubs. According to EO, Elephant Chairs and Tables furnish the Kids Club at the Four Seasons in Megève.
