Description
Designed to furnish the revolutionary Eames house, a building constructed entirely from industrial pre-fabricated parts, the ESU shelving unit has become an icon of mid-century design. Reproducing Charles and Ray Eames original design in a contemporary palette, this classic piece of modernist design adds a colourful dash of functional simplicity to the home.
Our Stylist Says
I love the ESU shelving for its straightforward mix of black steel frame, oak shelves and warm orange-red back-panels - it brings a subtle hit of colour without overwhelming a space. It sits just as comfortably in a pared-back Scandi living room as it does in a loft-style study, where the industrial edge meets softer natural materials.
For styling, alternate books and objects to create visual rhythm, then soften the look with a couple of trailing plants or sculptural ceramics in muted tones. Use it as a room divider in an open plan layout or lean it against a pale wall to keep the focus on its clean lines.

About Heal's
Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional design.
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
