Room by Room - the Eames Storage Unit
As we caput into the home stretch before some other school year, Room by Room with FormFire Glassworks looks into storage possibilities, and examines the Eames Storage Unit, or ESU 420.
This version of the texture-filled storage unit was introduced in 1952 through Herman Miller my Charles and Ray Eames. The Eames preoccupation with modular pieces and strong influence of the Japanese aesthetic led them to the blueprint of this slice that has stood the test of fourth dimension. It allows for many different options, including doors, drawers, plywood, metal and brightly-colored lacquered panels. The Japanese sense of balance and proportion of closed and open spaces makes this a pleasing tableau even without the insertion of decor and everyday items. It is said to exist the first mod storage piece where the metal bracing was exposed as an integral function of the design. It is currently available in multiple heights and widths from Modernica.
The materials and elementary rest of geometry and volume were the inspiration for my handmade accompaniment choices. A plywood mobile echoes the panel materials as well every bit the circular pressed plywood motif. A set of photo cubes pulls from the rectangular nature of the storage system. The geometry and low-cal feeling of the steel struts is visible in a ruby-red fused glass platter, while a tiny ceramic dish becomes a simple, yet subconscious treasure in the open cubbies. Breaking the mold while continuing the wood tones is a pencil sculpture that adds some motion to the scene.
Next week I volition cull a new iconic slice and give you my picks for accessorizing your modern abode.
