Manufacturer: Vitra | Designer: Charles & Ray Eames

A Folk Art Icon from the Eames House

Charles and Ray Eames surrounded themselves in their legendary Pacific Palisades home with their own designs and an extensive collection of folk art, objects found on their travels, in nature, and in everyday life. As Ray explained: ‘We never collected anything just as collectors, but because something was inherent in the piece that made it seem like a good idea to be looking at.’

A prominent feature of that collection was a huge wooden whale over two metres in length, an anonymous work of North American folk art. The Eameses were exceptionally fond of it: it occupied a permanent place in the Eames Office and appeared in some of the first photographs of the Lounge Chair. Vitra’s smaller-scale reproduction is crafted from solid ash and hand-finished using water-based paints, staying true to the spirit of the original.
