Charles and Ray Eames augmented the interior "collage" of the Eames House with numerous objects brought back from their extensive travels. The figure of a black wooden bird -evidently one of their most prized samples of America folk art - stood in the centre of their living room for over fifty years. Also seen as an accessory in many of the Eames's photographs, the bird figure comes from the Appalachian mountain region of the eastern United States. Based on the original 1910 artifact and in cooperation with the Eames Family, Vitra is now producing the first series of this figure. $209 each.
