Description

Vitra’s Eames House Whale is a delightful scale model of the huge, two-meter wooden whale that was one of the most beloved decorative objects in the house of Charles and Ray Eames. Crafted by an anonymous North American folk artist, the original whale hung from the ceiling of the Eames House, and it also appeared in several photoshoots of the Eames products.

The 27.56 in (70 cm) long Eames House Whale is made from hand-painted solid ash, with a black-and-white finish sealed with a water-based lacquer. With its gentle smile, this wooden whale brings joy whether placed on a table, displayed on a windowsill, or suspended from the ceiling.

  • Length: 27.56 in (70 cm)
  • Height: 5.51 in (14 cm)

  • Material Hand-painted solid ash, water-based paint
  • Colour Black, white
  • Weight 13.23 lbs (6 kg)
  • Product ID: AK21511602
