Charles and Ray Eames ESU 400, 1954 manufactured by Herman Miller primary colored masonite panels in a chrome angle-iron frame with five drawers, metal X-stretchers and four original white fiberglass sliding doors, later inset legs, 47"w x 17"d x 58"h, excellent condition 9000-12,000 |
In 1952 the ESU series were redesigned by the Eames Office. Modifications to the leg structure were made to increase the sturdiness of the cabinet. In addition the drawer units were improved with an internal metal track mechanism and a more durable dovetail design was added to the front. The pulls were also modified. Internal flat metal bands were added to the inside of the masonite panels. The later ESUs are substantially heavier than their earlier counterparts. No doubt the modification improved the function of the storage units, but some of the aesthetic beauty of the earlier examples was lost. |
