Vitra
Eames Desk Unit EDU
Price € 1.905,00
In 1949 the creative genius of Charles & Ray Eames created an innovative system of self-supporting shelves and desks. In full compliance with their paradigm, this desk is also multifunctional, that is, capable of conforming to the user's taste and needs. Similar to the Eames House built simultaneously, this project also adheres to the principles of industrial production: the Eames Storage Units (ESU) and the Eames Desk Unit (EDU). Nice and unconventional, this desk ties to a metal core of aluminum tops and shelves of natural wood in a striking contrast. With its eye-catching combination of colored panels, the EDU desk adds a cheerful and inviting accent to the home office.

Swiss by birth, Vitra is a unique company in many ways. Unique in its home collections, light and colorful; unique in its office furnishings, which combine in a masterful implementation design and ergonomics; unique for the designer parterre that enriches its catalog. Among prestigious historical re-enactments and fruitful collaborations, Vitra has always had the ability to relive the past and project to the future. However, Vitra is unique above all for Rolf Fehlbaum's corporate address, where the company transcends the business to fulfill wider social and cultural functions: the creation of a unique project such as Vitra Campus and the annexed Vitra Design Museum is an example.Read more
Designed by
Jean Prouvé
Jean Prouvé (1901-1984) is one of the great names of French design of the twentieth century. Son of the painter and sculptor Victor Prouvé, he was essentially self-taught: he studied as a blacksmith and soon opened his own workshop, drawing the principles of his style from daily practice and work on new technologies. "I am but a worker", he wrote in his autobiography. His art was engineering applied to design: he was a pioneer in the use of sheet steel and aluminum in the creation of furniture and lamps, moving away from the use of the typical tubular of the Bauhaus and going to create his own aesthetic, with an imprint strongly industrial, driven by a constant search for innovation and functionality. Starting in the 1950s, he abandoned his activity in the company and intensified his public presence, eventually chairing the commission that in 1971 chose Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers for the design of the Center Pompidou in Paris. His furnishings have been reissued exclusively by Vitra since 2002.Read more
