Charles and Ray Eames had ideas about making a better world, one in which things were designed to bring greater pleasure to our lives.
Book storage is difficult in small spaces. With a small footprint, and discreet frame, Story Bookcase was designed to make the most of your space and show off books and other collectibles. “We simply want to create things people won’t get rid of,” says Story designer Chen-Yen.
