ESU shelf by Charles and Ray Eames with three drawers and open space in the upper area and two sliding doors in the lower area. The basic colour consists of wood colours and beige, combined with black, grey and white.The shelf comes in good original condition with patina. Manufactured by Herman Miller. Ray Eames and her husband Charles significantly have contributed to the development of US post-war design. In 1940 together with colleague and friend Eero Saarinen they won the MoMA Organic Design in Home Furnishings competition. As with Saarinen, the close and interchanging lifelong relationship between fellow industrial designer George Nelson and Charles Eames is visible in their work.
