The original bird figure stood in the Eames household living room for over fifty years and has now become an iconic symbol of Eames design. The decorative accessory is a charming addition to the home and can be perfectly placed almost anywhere in a room. The authentic dark walnut finish adds to the natural simplicity of the bird design, with the visible grain emphasizing the carefully handcrafted design. The bird also comes available in a black version.
American husband and wife design duo Charles and Ray Eames have had a profound influence on the visual character of American life, producing original work within the fields of architecture, furniture design, industrial design, manufacturing and the photographic arts.
The Eames’ first partnered with Vitra in 1957 to produce some of the most iconic pieces of furniture in the history of interior design. Today Vitra continues to reflect their philosophy on design and functionality, best understood through Charles’ own words: “Recognising the need is the primary condition for the design”.
