Eames House Bird

For decades, a small wooden bird held a quiet place of honor in the living room of the Eames House in Pacific Palisades. Charles and Ray Eames brought it back from their travels, d rawn to its simplicity and the warmth of American folk craft. It appeared in photographs, in films, and in the collage-like atmosphere the couple built around themselves. Vitra has faithfully reissued the figure, preserving its hand-finished character and the natural grain of the wood. It carries the sensibility of two designers who believed that objects of genuine feeling belong alongside serious furniture. Placed on a shelf, a windowsill, or a desk, it reads less as decoration than as a quiet statement of taste.
