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.

They made no attempt to disguise or soften the off-the-shelf industrial look of the components. This desk features a combination of natural birch and colored paneling with a zinc-plated wire frame. Made by Herman Miller®.
