Eames Storage Unit ESU Shelf is designed by Charles & Ray Eames for Vitra with metal frame black powder-coated finish, shelves in maple plywood with birch face veneer, transparent lacquer finish and panels in powder-coated aluminium.
The wider ESU Shelf is available in various heights, from a sideboard to a tall bookshelf (1 HU, 2 HU, 3 HU, 4 HU).
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 and EDU a fresh and contemporary look while still celebrating the spirit of the 1940s and '50s.
