The Eames Storage Unit (ESU) is a lightweight system of freestanding modular cabinets that was initially promoted as an economical solution to the changing storage needs of American families after World War II. Although modular furniture was not new in 1950, the ESU was an example of husband-and-wife team Charles and Ray Eames’s continual efforts to design and manufacture reasonably priced household furniture using industrial production techniques. Constructed of plywood, enameled Masonite, and steel framing, the ESUs were available in single and double widths. The 100 series was one unit high, the 200 series two units high, and the 400 series, seen here, was four units high. This is an authentic second generation ESU 400 N ( N stand for neutral colors), with original panels, legs and drawers. The pieces has been lightly restored and cleaned. Shelves was refinished due to water damage (before and after photos can be provided), all panels and metal elements were cleaned to prevent any further corrosion.
