Eames House Bird — Black Lacquered Ash

A long tail, upright body and two fine wire legs give the Eames House Bird a lively silhouette with very few details. Vitra's black version is made from solid ash with a lacquer finish, leaving the wood grain visible beneath the dark surface. The figure recalls the wooden bird that has stood in Charles and Ray Eames's living room for more than seventy years, among the objects they collected for their home. On a shelf, a desk or a stack of books, it adds a figurative accent without a large decorative arrangement. This selection is black ash, rather than the walnut or cotton-white versions.
