Win An Eames House Bird

Eames house bird-sc-by

Charles and Ray Eames augmented their home with many objects from their travels.

The bird also appears as an accessory in their product photo shoots. It is made from black-lacquered solid alder wood, with black steel wire legs.

For the chance to win the iconic house bird, valued at $340, simply sign up to receive StreetChat each month.

Winner will be announced October 31 shortly after the 2016 International Festival of Landscape Architecture.

Flower Chair to make festival debut

As the International Festival of Landscape Architecture approaches, Street Furniture Australia is gearing up to release prototypes of the fixed, yet movable, Flower Chair.
