    Design Year: 1910.

    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 objects of American folk art - has stood in the centre of their living room for over fifty years. Also seen as an accessory in many of the Eameses' photographs, the bird figure from the Appalachian mountain region of the eastern United States. Based on the original artifact and in cooperation with the Eames Family, Vitra is now producing the first series of this figure.

    Charles and Ray Eames

    Charles and Ray Eames

    A chair that looked like a potato chip. Another that resembled a "well-used first baseman's mitt." A folding screen that rippled...

    With a grand sense of adventure, Charles and Ray Eames turned their curiosity and boundless enthusiasm into creations that established them as a truly great husband-and-wife design team. Their unique synergy led to a whole new look in furniture. Lean and modern. Playful and functional. Sleek, sophisticated, and beautifully simple. That was and is the "Eames look."

    That look and their relationship with Herman Miller started with molded plywood chairs in the late 1940s and includes the world-renowned Eames lounge chair, now in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

    Croft & Little 5 Start Ratings Nice Modern Artwork

    The Eames House Bird is beautiful. Nice size and weight and it looks great in my modern house. People that come in comment on it and like it. Worth the price!

    By: JDW, Homeowner  ( Seattle, WA )


    Croft & Little 5 Start Ratings Love it, as it is the perfect companion to my design studio.

    I bought this for my design studio and I am not disappointed. I have always been a fan of Eames beautifully designed work and furniture, and this eames bird will be the start of my hopefully growing collection.

    By: Erica, Designer  ( New York, NY, USA )


    Croft & Little 5 Start Ratings Classic design in my favorite color

    This classic blackbird is the perfect whimsical touch for my contemporary space. The folk art sculpture is high quality and comes in a well designed corrugated box from Vitra. I love the history of this bird, as it is always a conversation piece. I plan to place it high up in my space half out of sight for people to discover – that is, if I can bear to move it from the top of my desk where I am enjoying its charm at close range.

    Croft & Little 5 Start Ratings Very Elegant

    Purchased the Eames House Bird as a Christmas present for my wife who is an interior designer. It's beautiful, very well crafted. It's a little pricey but the workmanship, details, and materials are very high quality. It looks great in our contemporay home.

    By: Craig H., Architect  ( Minnetonka, MN )


    Croft & Little 5 Start Ratings Absolutely Lovely

    I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my wife. She loves birds. We live in a fabulous fifties house. I was concerned about the cost until I opened the package. It's worth it. My only concern was that I had to decide whether to keep it or return it in two weeks. That meant that I couldn't return it if my wife didn't like it. So I showed it to her. She loved it, too. Now I will wrap it up and she will act surprised.

    By: Moodski, Homeowner  ( Kerrville, TX )


    Croft & Little 5 Start Ratings Happy!!! It's a beautiful piece of art.

    I bought it for my wife, in her birthday. Delivery on time. Beatiful. A little overpriced, but it is worthy just seing her that happy.

    Thanks.

    Croft & Little 5 Start Ratings Beautiful bird

    This is a sleek and substantial item, and the photos hardly do it justice. The polished wood finish marries beautifully with the spare design.

    By: Susanne H., Homeowner  ( Nashville, TN )


    Croft & Little 5 Start Ratings Perfect Gift!

    Purchased the Bird for my husband who is an architect. It now sits on the shelf of the bath he just remodeled facing south out the window.

    By: Diane D.,   ( Royal Oak, MI )


    Croft & Little 5 Start Ratings elegant in it's simplicity

    The Eames House Bird has been a perfect addition to our home. I lives up to expectations in every way from its simple, elegant form to the quality of construction. A stunning focal point on our danish modern credenza.

    By: richard o., Homeowner  ( Kansas City, MO )


    Croft & Little 5 Start Ratings Great classic design and worth the money.

    Simple, understated, well crafted, and beautiful. It is as wonderful as we expected it to be. This little guy sits proudly in a prominent spot in our living room. It was also delivered promptly and even the packaging was well designed.

    By: Carl L., Architect  ( Atlanta )


    Croft & Little 5 Start Ratings I love it!!!

    It is a bit pricey for a wooden bird, but I love it! My family room is furnished with Stickley furniture so it really compliments the look that I have.

    By: Brenda B., Homeowner  ( Redondo Beach, CA )


    Croft & Little 5 Start Ratings A perfect presence in a chic home.

    Classic design -- simple, elegant, timeless. Folk art that isn't folksy.

    Two pleasant surprises:

    1) The dark brown glass eyes.

    2) Scale: Nice size and weight. I read the dimensions before buying it, but they didn't register until I took it out of the box -- this is a substantial bird.

    I can see why the Eameses liked this bird.

    By: richard t., Homeowner  ( Pittsburgh, PA )


    Croft & Little 5 Start Ratings Better Than Expected!

    This is a beautiful piece of folk art! It exceeded my expectations in every way. It is a good size and heavier than expected. It is well balanced and has a lovely finish. Looks great on my mantle. First time shopping at YLiving, but will definitely return.

    By: P. Lofgreen, Homeowner  ( Utah )


    Croft & Little 5 Start Ratings My favorite birdie nevermore!

    Calm, quiet, watchful, soulful. Everything you could ask for from a bird without all the flying and calling.

    By: thorcrane, Architect  ( San Francisco )


    Croft & Little 4 Start Ratings Great Product. Slow Shipping.

    I bought this product as a wedding gift. They absolutely loved the gift, it is a beautiful piece. Unfortunately it took over a month to get the piece. I wish I knew this was the case when I ordered it. I just received an email a couple days after I ordered it that it would ship in 3-4 weeks. Needless to say, we didn't have the gift in time for the wedding.
