Eames Storage Unit ESU Bookcase
-
Product Description
The celebrated Charles and Ray Eames developed the ESU Bookcase in 1949 as a free-standing, multi-functional bookcase, and since then it has become an iconic piece that has stood the test of time. Now, the Eames office have collaborated with the respected Dutch designer Hella Jongerius to create a new colour concept for this design classic. This reinvention features contrasting colours and materials, thus boasting a fresh, contemporary look whilst still celebrating the spirit of the 40’s and 50’s.
The ESU Bookcase has four shelf levels, corresponding to the height of standard ring-binders and is fitted with both drawers and sliding doors.Materials & Finishes
Bookcase with shelves in maple plywood with birch face veneer and transparent lacquer finish
Panels in powder-coated aluminium and metal surfaces with black powder-coated finish.
