Corniches arose from the need for small spaces for the spontaneous storage of miscellaneous objects. 'The same way that we hang our belongings on a rock jutting from a cliff before diving into the sea, we need small, informal storage in everyday life too', Whether as a key rack beside the front door, a spot to put everything we need to have at our fingertips in the bathroom, a pedestal for a small collection of objects or as a large installation, the Corniches storage ledges are a new way to use the walls in our living spaces. Manufactured by Vitra.

Designer Info:
Charles and Ray Eames enriched the collage-like interior of their private home, the Eames House, with numerous objects and accessories that they brought back from their travels. For over fifty years, the figure of a wooden bird has stood in the centre of the living room – an artefact of American folk art that was evidently highly treasured by the couple, since it also appeared frequently as an accessory in photographs taken by Charles and Ray.
