Introduced in 1952, Eames Desk Units helped establish an exciting new residential furniture look. It's also at home in the contemporary office. The Desk Unit complements the many other Eames® pieces, or it can stand alone with seamless grace and ease.
The Design
Introduced in 1950, these units demonstrate the knack Charles and Ray Eames had for using industrial production techniques to extend the boundaries of design and create a whole new look. A result of work they had done for a 1949 exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts, these pieces reveal the “machine aesthetic” and Japanese influences important to the Eameses at the time. Long before “modularity” and “high tech” entered the language, Charles and Ray combined standardized parts in many ways to create practical furnishings that suit a variety of uses at home and in the office.

While fashion and style have their place, the main criterion for a Herman Miller product has remained constant: Does it truly solve a problem that people care about in a way that improves upon other solutions, or pioneers a new and better answer altogether?
