Description
The Eames House Bird rose to stardom in the 1950s when Charles and Ray Eames pulled it from their own living room and positioned it with a group of Eames DKR chairs for a poster.
"For over fifty years, the figure of a 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." - Vitra 
This masterfully simplistic black bird (circa 1910) with a tapered beak and sleek tail was one of their most prized objects of folk art. In cooperation with the Eames family, Vitra used 3-D scans of the original to create solid alder wood reproduction. Made in Germany.
