EAMES HOUSE BIRD By Vitra
Type
Wooden sculpture
Designer
Charles and Ray Eames enriched the collage-like interior of their private home, the Eames House, with numerous objects and accessories that they brought back from their travels. For over fifty years, the figure of a black wooden bird has stood in the centre of the living room – an artefact of American folk art that was evidently highly treasured by the couple, since it also appeared frequently as an accessory in photographs taken by Charles and Ray.
Materials:
- Body: solid alder, black lacquer finish or walnut.
- Legs: black steel wire.
