Eames House Bird Special Collection

One of the most beloved decorative figures in the house of designers Charles and Ray Eames was a black wooden bird, known as the Eames House Bird. It exudes elegance and is crafted with large finesse and precision and adorns any window sill, resting on its steel wire legs. The Eames couple found inspiration for the wooden bird on one of their trips to the Appalachians, where there was a piece of folk art shaped like a bird made of wood. Today, the Eames House Bird is produced by Vitra and is available in the original black painted color in lacquered alder wood and a warmer variant in lacquered walnut wood.
