The metal legs can be individually adjusted to fit uneven floors. Charles and Ray Eames designed the Eames storage unit (Esu) and Eames desk unit (Edu) in 1949. The innovative, lightweight structure of the furniture was based on the principles of industrial production, just like the iconic Eames house. Honouring the spirit of 1940s and 50s, the contemporary colour palette of Edu and Esu was developed together with Eames office and the Dutch designer Hella Jongerius, height 76 cm, width 152.5 cm, diameter 71 cm
