Eames First Generation ESU 220-C Cabinet, circa 1950

About the Item

First generation Eames storage unit (ESU) model 220-C Birch ply top and plywood dimple doors with coloured masonite panels to sides and back Fitted three black painted ply drawers with metal sides 119cm wide, 41cm deep, 82cm high The first generation of this model had integrated metal legs which were modified in the later versions because they had a tendency to bend. The legs on this example have remained straight, possibly thanks to what looks like an original rail fixed to the back for transportation which was not removed. The dimple doors are replacements in a thicker ply than the thin original doors which were renowned for warping and splitting. There is a veneer patch repair to the top right hand side of the top surface.
