The Eames Storage Unit, dubbed “working art” since its first exhibition in 1949 at the Detroit Institute of Arts, offers usable storage for treasured objects while doubling as a compelling center piece.
The concept for the furniture piece was introduced to the public in the essay, “A New Series of Storage Units” written by Charles for the April 1950 issue of Arts and Architecture magazine.
It was Charles and Ray’s belief to always honor “the honest use of materials.” This allowed them to embrace designing and producing household furniture using industrial production techniques.
As such, they strove to design their furniture in minimalist ways to keep the end cost as low as possible for the consumer. So, rather than disguise the off-the-shelf look of the storage unit’s components, they embraced its industrial roots.
