A result of work they had done for a 1949 exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts, the pieces reveal the “machine aesthetic” and Japanese influences important to the Eameses at the time. The wire cross supports used in the desks and storage units echo other classic Eames designs, including Eames wire chairs and wire-base tables.
The resulting products are practical and ideal for all kinds of office spaces—small and large, business or home. They retain their modern look with a dash of retro styling.
