    Introduced in 1950, Eames Desks are examples of Charles and Ray Eames designing and making furniture incorporating new materials and industrial production techniques. This design grew out of work the Eameses did for a 1949 exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts. It reveals the "machine aesthetic" and Japanese influences important to them at the time. Long before "modularity" and "high tech" entered design language, the Eameses used standardized parts that were interchangeable.

Made by Herman Miller®.
