Similar to the Eames House that dates from the same time, the shelves and desks were constructed strictly in-keeping with the principles of industrial mass production. The Eames Storage Units are known as 'ESU', and Eames Desk Units as 'EDU'. The desk is ideal for the home office, with a practical, functional aesthetic consisting of a large desk space combined with shelving for computer towers, filing or catalogues and books.
American husband and wife design duo Charles and Ray Eames have had a profound influence on the visual character of American life, producing original work within the fields of architecture, furniture design, industrial design, manufacturing and the photographic arts.
The Eames’ first partnered with Vitra in 1957 to produce some of the most iconic pieces of furniture in the history of interior design. Today Vitra continues to reflect their philosophy on design and functionality, best understood through Charles’ own words: “Recognising the need is the primary condition for the design”.
