Description
Few objects capture the spirit of the Eameses quite like the Eames House Bird from Vitra. A constant presence in their California home, this modest folk art carving became one of the most photographed items in the Eames House and remains an enduring symbol of their playful yet sophisticated approach to design.
Vitra’s reissue is based on the original, here produced in solid ash with a black water-based lacquer finish. Supported by slim metal legs, the black edition is strikingly graphic — its clean silhouette making it a standout accent in any setting. Positioned on a shelf, coffee table or desk, the Eames House Bird brings personality and sculptural interest without overwhelming a space. As both a design object and a statement accessory, it bridges folk tradition and modern minimalism with effortless authority.

Charles & Ray Eames
Charles and Ray Eames were the husband-and-wife design team who helped shape modern design as we know it. Famous for their playful yet functional approach, the Eameses worked across architecture, furniture, industrial design and even film and photography — always with the belief that good design should improve everyday life.
Their collaboration with Vitra began in 1957 and has since produced some of the most iconic pieces in modern interiors, from the Eames Lounge Chair to the Eames Plastic Chair collection. More than just beautiful objects, their designs embody a philosophy of practicality, comfort and timeless style. As Charles Eames once put it, “Recognising the need is the primary condition for the design.”
Today, Vitra continues to honour and produce the Eames’ creations, ensuring their legacy lives on in homes, offices and public spaces around the world.
