the eames foundation member appreciation day was on saturday and every inch of their case study house still inspires me. sadly, no interior photos allowed but there was plenty of wine and good friends to color our own house of cards with and i got one of the docents to demonstrate the rotating front door bell. illustrations by andrew, mandy, cheri and me.

no brand or markings and not for sale. found hung on a wall in a camping store in orange county, ca. 50% rock, 50% moc.
