Our friends at House Industries gave us the heads up on a unique opportunity to get inside one of the temples of mid-century design, the Eames House in California. To help celebrate the launch of the Eames Century Modern font collection, they are hosting a contest where three lucky winners can join them for a private tour of the famous dwelling.

Even better, "This exclusive tour will be hosted by Eames Demetrios and Lucia Atwood, grandson and granddaughter of Charles and Ray Eames. House staff members will be present but don't pay attention to them. Listen to the tour guide."

Winners will be drawn on Feb 19, 2009, and the tour will take place on March 11. As a bonus, by entering you will receive catalogs and fonts from House in perpetuity, win or lose!

More details and the entry form are available on their site.
