Story
A product introduced before
its time, the Eames Desk Unit is emblematic
of the grace and vision Charles and Ray
Eames used in solving home furnishing
problems.
A result of work they
had done for a 1949 exhibition at the
Detroit Institute of Arts, Eames Desk
Units and Storage Units reveal the "machine
aesthetic" and Japanese influences
important to the Eameses at the time.
Long before "modularity" and
"high tech" entered the language,
Charles and Ray combined standardized
parts in many ways to create practical
furnishings that suit a variety of uses
at home and the office.
