A furniture series based on a chest of drawers, a side table, and a desk in two sizes. Front panels could be chosen in four different colors (black, blue, yellow, orange) or could be painted by the customer. If drawers were used, the frame had no rear or side covering, making the furniture less expensive to produce.

Produced by Herman Miller from 1954 to 1966.
