Charles and Ray Eames, masters of interior design, really loved a particular piece of folk art in the form of a little wooden black bird. It has been the focus of their living room for over 50 years and has appeared in many photographs, and now it's going into reproduction so we can each have one of our own. The Eames House Bird couldn't be more simple, made of black Alder with a black lacquer finish and steel wire legs, and I think that it has a very cheerful looking disposition (which is perhaps why the Eames' liked it so much). 10.75"h x 3.5" x 11", $195.
