Height: 20 3/4" Width: 24" Depth: 16" NOTE: Introduced in 1949 at an exhibition hosted by The Detroit Institute of Arts, the Eames Storage Unit system was available in three different sizes and numerous configurations, allowing a huge range of options for both modern residential and office needs. The use of lightweight yet durable materials which do not attempt to disguise their industrial origin was an important breakthrough for the period. However, the ESU range was relatively short lived, with production ending in 1955.
