First to recommend

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.

Bonnie & Clyde, Fred & Ginger, Holmes & Watson: All great partnerships. The partnership of Charles and Ray Eames were no different, as their designs have transcended time and continue to be examples of good design. The perfect gift for the modern enthusiast, this little bird is an easy way to bring great design into any home. (via Yliving)
