      As lifetime travelers, Charles and Ray Eames delighted in returning home laden with various accessories and objets d’art, using them to furnish and decorate The Eames House, their private home.

      In collaboration with the Eames Office, Vitra has issued this Eames House Bird in dark walnut with a clear lacquer finish. Perched halfway between the ideals of rustic charm and sleek modernism, it perfectly embodies the Eameses' influential design aesthetic. Charles and Ray Eames have work in MoMA’s collection.

      Made in Germany of solid alder wood with steel legs. To clean the Eames Bird, wipe it gently with a soft cloth.
