Plus they just are so totally cool...
In addition to furniture, lighting and textiles, it is the small things - the various accessories, pictures and momentos we have collected that play a major role in our emotional attachment to the home. In recent decades only a few designers like Charles & Ray Eames, Alexander Girard and George Nelson, have been aware of this.
Charles and Ray Eames enhanced the collage in Eames House to include countless objects they brought back with them from their travels. for over 50 years the figure of a black wooden bird stood on the floor at the heart of their living room - evidently a piece of American folk art they especially appreciated and which they frequently used as an accessory in their photos.
The Eames House Bird measures h 276 x w 85 x l 278mm and is created in black lacquered solid alder and steel wire.
