- Description:
- This Product Literature, in the collection of The Henry Ford, contains information related to the Eames Storage Units (E. S. U. ) designed by Charles Eames. This brochure states how Eames Storage Units represented a frank and forthright answer to a permanent and basic furniture need. The pieces are attractive, durable cabinets, cases and desks that are modestly priced. The literature goes on to state that "the pieces are plated steel uprights supporting plastic-coated plywood shelves and stain resistant wood or plastic coated tops. Crossed metal struts or lacquered masonite panels insure stability. There are numerous arrangements including open shelves, sliding panel doors and drawers, in a variety of color combinations". The catalog illustrates, in color and black and white, the standard units of the 100, 200, and the 400 series of E. S. U. Cases as well as the E. S. U. Desks.
