Eames House Bird: Black

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames

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 center of the living room – an artifact 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.

Solid wood body: ash, black lacquer finish, steel wire.

Manufactured by Vitra.

11 x 3.5 x 10.75 in.
