Description
BEAMALEVICH
From the Lounge Chair to the construction set — Eames, touchable.
Ray Kaiser Eames (1912, Sacramento, California — 1988, Los Angeles) and Charles Eames (1907, St. Louis, Missouri — 1978, St. Louis, Missouri) did not just write furniture history — they invented a visual language that fused architecture, colour, and playfulness into a style that is instantly recognisable. The Eames House (Case Study House #8, Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, 1949), a steel frame filled with vivid colour panels, and the Eames Storage Unit (ESU, 1950), a colourful grid system of translucent and solid panels for Herman Miller, remain the clearest expressions of that language. Xavier Vidal, founder of Beamalevich in Barcelona and creator of the award-winning construction game Arquitecton, has translated this visual language into a physical object: HOUSE Eames is an architectural construction set at 1:100 scale that is never finished — because a true design object always promises the next iteration.
The gift for everyone who grew up with Eames — or is just discovering them now
You know someone who can recite every detail of the Eames Lounge Chair (1956), has watched “Powers of Ten” (1977) more than once, and still has never held an Eames object that actually wants to be built? HOUSE Eames is for exactly that person. Not another book, not another poster — a three-dimensional object that translates the design language of Ray & Charles Eames into a spatial experience you can hold, rearrange, and put back together differently every time.
The magnetic façade elements — inspired by the colourful grid system of the ESU and the colour panels of the Eames House — can be rearranged at will. No glue, no tools, no wrong solution. The set works as a gift for architects, designers, design students, and anyone who takes “Take your pleasure seriously” not just as a motto but as a daily practice. Packed in a compact box (16.7 × 9.1 × 5.5 cm, 0.6 kg) — ready to give without additional wrapping.
How HOUSE Eames works
Three medium and two small square wooden bases with guide rails form the footprint. Eight L-shaped metal corner walls connect the bases into a stable building skeleton — no tools, no glue, just slot-together assembly. The approximately 14 magnetic façade elements with Eames-inspired motifs slide into the rail slots and hold magnetically. They can be removed, rotated, and reconfigured at any time. A to-scale figure set at 1:100 completes the set as an architectural detail. HOUSE Eames is never finished — that is the point.

Frequently asked questions
Is HOUSE Eames a display object or can you actually build with it?
Both. You can genuinely assemble the building skeleton from wooden bases and metal corner walls, slide the magnetic façade elements into the rail slots, and reconfigure them freely. There is no wrong configuration. At the same time the finished object is decorative enough to live on a desk or shelf as a three-dimensional still life from the world of Ray & Charles Eames.
What do the façade elements look like exactly?
The approximately 14 magnetic façade elements draw directly from the visual language of the Eames Storage Unit (ESU, 1950) and the Eames House (Case Study House #8, 1949): rectangular colour fields, grid structures, and the characteristic interplay of translucent and solid surfaces that makes the design of Ray & Charles Eames so instantly identifiable.
Can the HOUSE sets in the series be combined with each other?
Yes. The HOUSE sets by Beamalevich — including Bauhaus Dessau (Gropius), Op Art (Vasarely), Unité d’Habitation (Le Corbusier), Malevich, Mondrian, and Metropolis — all use the same base system and are fully combinable. Collectors with multiple sets can build larger architectural compositions.
What age is HOUSE Eames suitable for?
HOUSE Eames is primarily an object for adults — for design enthusiasts, architects, art collectors, and anyone who appreciates the work of Ray & Charles Eames. Children from around age 8 can play with it under supervision; small parts make it unsuitable for toddlers.
Where does Beamalevich come from and who is behind it?
Beamalevich was founded by Xavier Vidal in Barcelona, Spain. Vidal is also the creator of Arquitecton, an award-winning construction game that makes architectural history tangible as an interactive object. The HOUSE series is the natural evolution of that idea — with iconic buildings and design systems of the twentieth century as its inspiration.
