Win An Eames House Bird

Eames house bird-sc-by

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

The 28cm-tall black wooden bird, one of their most prized objects of American folk art, was a centrepiece of their living room in the Eames House in Los Angeles.

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
