The ESU Bookcase by Charles and Ray Eames comes with four shelf levels, two sliding cupboards and three drawers. The storage unit features a black metal frame with maple plywood with birch face veneer. The back and side panels are aluminium powder-coated in autumnal colours.///DescriptionIn 1949, Charles and Ray Eames developed an innovative system of freestanding, multifunctional shelves and desks. Similar to the simultaneously constructed Eames House, these designs adhered to the principles of industrial production: the Eames Storage Unit (ESU) and the Eames Desk Unit (EDU). In collaboration with the Eames Office and Dutch designer Hella Jongerius, a carefully defined new colour scheme was chosen to give the ESU and EDU a fresh and contemporary look while still celebrating the spirit of the 1940s and 50s. The wider ESU Shelf is available in various heights, from a sideboard to a tall bookshelf. The ESU Bookcase is somewhat narrower and fi tted with drawers and sliding doors to provide practical storage options.
