The concept of modularity wasn't in the popular lexicon when Charles and Ray Eames designed their innovative Storage Units (1950) that can be configured to fit a space or need. Suitable for office and residential use, these units were designed as storage and display spaces, with two color schemes. The design resulted from work the Eameses did for a 1949 exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the molded plywood and wire supports echo other items designed by the Eameses, such as their wire base tables and chairs. The "multi" color scheme includes birch fronts and brightly colored (red, white, blue, black and tan) side and back panels. The "natural" color scheme includes birch fronts and neutral (grey, white, black and tan) side and back panels. The shelves in both color schemes are black. The nylon glides are easy on floors.
