DESIGN STORY
Eames Desk Unit is 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, the Eames Desk Unit reveals 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 at home and the office.
The zinc-coated wire cross-supports used in the Eames Desk
Unit echo other classic Eames designs, including their wire chairs,
wire-base tables, and molded plywood chairs.
