Eames ESU Shelf 2 HU

£1,280.00 – £2,540.00

In 1949 Charles and Ray Eames developed an iconic system of free-standing multifunctional shelves and bookcase. These have been given a fresh and contemporary look by Dutch designer Hella Jongerius. A second feature of the new ESU is the adjustment of the horizontal dimensions and the expansion of the variants that turns ESU into a veritable family of shelves.

Story	In 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 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; its four shelf levels correspond to the height of standard ring binders. Fitted with drawers and sliding doors, it provides ample storage space.
