Eames House Bird - Vitra - Unboxing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2024
- This was a lot of fun to make! This is an unboxing from Vitra of the famed "Eames House Bird" which is a name coined for a 110 year old crow bird decoy that was loved and cherished by Charles and Ray Eames. Though it wasn't designed by the couple, it was made famous from its use in advertisments and graphics from Charles and Ray. The bird sat proudly in the living room of Case Study House #8 otherwise known as the Eames House in the Pacific Palisades and can still be found there today! From a tool used by hunters in Appalachia to an icon of Mid Century modern design!

I have wanted the Eames House Bird for years. I remember saving the HM page in my favorites years and years ago, hoping to one day buy it. Funny, it’s still one of my browser favorites to this day. When I originally saved it, I couldn’t imagine the day I would have $410 available to spend on something like a wooden bird. Now that I do have the money, I talk myself out of purchasing it every few months when I pull it up. Funny how that works. Anyway, man, great video and great taste you have. Cheers.
The website where I bought mine is called endclothing.com they sell authentic Vitra items! I got both birds and a bunch of my Girard wooden dolls from there! Check them out! Yeah its a boat load to spend on a painted bird but they are super rad!
@@CraigRoccanova Did you find there were additional duties and taxes when ordering from this site? Interested in using them but they indicate on their site they ship the order with duties collected at delivery. Curious what was your experience.
@@brontewood I didn’t pay any additional taxes to ship to the USA
Great video thanks 🦅
So cool! Would be great to see an unboxing of the Eames House Whale one day... ;)
Maybe someday! :D
I just received one of these as a birthday gift and I absolutely love it. The feet are a little spikey though so I put 2 little rubber tips on the ends 😁
Smart! When I made the stop-motion bit at the end, it totally scratched up my desk! 🤣 congrats on your birthday bird! 😃
Nice back story. I never realised that.
Gracias
Thanks for this video. I’ve been wanting the walnut bird and because of your video I had to have it. I bought a white knock off on Amazon. It looks so cheap. Cheap cheap. So I’m now waiting for the walnut bird to arrive.
Congrats!!! I just had to have both! Haha

Does Charles Perdew and his family get credit as he is the creator of the bird?
They credit Charles Perdew with it
