News: Fashion boutique features an Eames bird above the entrance

An Eames House Bird stands guard on the porch of this tiny yellow building in Seoul, which has been adapted by Nordic Bros Design Community to house a fashion boutique.
The shop occupies a former house in the Korean capital's Yeonhee-dong neighbourhood. The client asked local studio Nordic Bros Design Community to renovate the building after being impressed by a Scandinavian-inspired cafe designed by the studio elsewhere in the city.

Charles Eames (1907–78) and Ray Eames (1912–88) gave shape to America's twentieth century. Their lives and work represented the US's defining movements: the West Coast's coming-of-age, the economy's shift from making goods to producing information, and the global expansion of American culture. The Eameses embraced the era's visionary concept of modern design as an agent of social change, elevating it to a national agenda. Their evolution from furniture designers to cultural ambassadors demonstrated their boundless talents and the overlap of their interests with those of their country. In a rare era of shared objectives, the Eameses partnered with the governments (US, India) and the country's top businesses to lead the charge to modernize postwar America.
