“Eames Desk Unit by Herman Miller. Always ahead of their time, designers Charles & Ray Eames used industrial production techniques and standardized off-the-shelf parts in 1952 to create their Bauhaus-inspired Herman Miller Eames desk, an innovative piece that extended the frontiers of modern design to include a machine aesthetic and the concept of modularity. The zinc-coated steel cross-supports and uprights give the units a bold industrial feel, and the dimpled plywood on cabinet fronts and plywood drawer fronts and shelves exemplify the furniture’s Mid-century modern appearance. With an expansive birch top desktop and storage space below, plus a handy drawer that accommodates hanging file folders, the Eames desk will shine as a stylish and functional workspace in your home. Some of its features include:Birch finish on tops and drawer frontsPainted hardwood sides and back panelsPainted surfaces available in neutral or bright colorsAvailable with file drawer at left or rightDesk frame, legs and cross supports all made of zinc-coated steelAs striking now as when it was introduced, the iconic Eames desk is a sophisticated and highly functional addition to your home office.
