Design Story
Eames Storage Units are emblematic of
the grace and whimsy Charles and Ray Eames used in designing
home furnishing solutions.
A result of work they had done for a 1949
exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts, these pieces
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.
The molded plywood and wire cross-supports
used in Eames Storage Units echo other classic Eames designs,
including their wire chairs, wire-base tables, and molded
plywood chairs.

Eames
Storage Unit 
Designed by Charles and Ray Eames
The Eames Storage Units are true to the
inventive originals introduced in 1950. Designed as both storage
place and display cabinet, they are a striking example of
how Charles and Ray Eames extended the boundaries of design
to create a new modern aesthetic for the office and home.
Historic Storage
Fits the need. Eames Storage Units are composed of cases,
cabinets, and drawers in five configurations and four sizes.
Eames Storage Units can be used as room
dividers, and are fully finished on the back. The largest
multi-color version, in particular, is resplendent in a cubist
palette of grey, black, white, yellow, tan, red and blue,
as well as the natural finish on the drawers and the dimpled
plywood doors.
Fits the decor. These units are offered
in either natural (NC), with a neutral color scheme on the
sides and back, or multi-color (W9)--with a brighter palette
(see schematic).
Strong and durable. Uprights, cross-supports,
and perforated panels are zinc-coated steel; cabinet fronts
are dimpled plywood; drawer fronts and shelves are molded
plywood; case side and back panels are painted hardboard.
Easy on floors. Feet have nylon glides.
