Product Information
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.Need a second opinion?Our design experts can assist with everything from swatches to sizing to pricing. -

Price Promise
Our Price Promise
We know that price is important. And while all of our designs follow the recommended retail prices (RRP) from our suppliers, we’re determined never to be bested.
It’s why we decided to introduce our Chaplins Price Promise. A guarantee to try and match the price of a branded product should you find it on sale at another authorised UK retailer. While the offer only applies to new designs (rather than clearance, outlets or ex-display) it’s our way of showing that we don’t just offer the best in service or style, but are committed to competitive pricing, too.
Please click on the button below should you wish to query a price. If a competitor's offer isn't immediately apparent online, we may ask you to supply us with a written quotation from the retailer — just to confirm the details.
And remember, Chaplins newsletter subscribers get an exclusive first order discount when they sign up. All of the details of which you can find in the footer below.
Designer Profile
Charles & Ray Eames
They were the mid-century’s Beyonce and Jay-Z. A creative duo who made art out of this short life. And shaped the world in their image. Today, Charles & Ray Eames are best remembered in the objects they left behind. In the colourful curves of the Plastic Collection. Or the soft folds of their beloved Lounge Chair. Beloved for timeless appeal and distinct mid-century optimism, they promise to add comfort and story wherever they’re placed.
