A little Eames
Any interior can be brightened up with a little Eames, and these small tables bear the hallmarks of classic Eames design — the use of welded wire rods in the base and the bevelled edge that reveals the essential material beneath the surface. On these tables, that material is 13 layers of Baltic birch plywood sandwiched between wood veneer or high-pressure laminate.
Bases consist of two U-shaped steel rods attached to the top, with cross members for added stability.
A diminutive delight
The table’s compact size and light weight make it easy to move to wherever you need a small, attractive surface. You can even stack them out of the way when you’re not using them.
“Fantastic things being made of wire”
Charles and Ray Eames were always looking for new materials and new ways to create distinctive furniture. In the late 1940s, Charles noted the “fantastic things being made of wire”. That fascination led them to experiment with metal wire rods and mesh, and eventually to adopt a mass-production technique for simultaneously welding wire rods, a technique that resulted in many pieces that have become modern classics including wire chairs, plastic chairs with wire bases, storage units and elliptical tables.
Another result was this compact table, introduced in 1950. Charles and Ray Eames used them to conduct the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, Chanoyu, for special guests, including sculptor Isamu Noguchi and film pioneer Charlie Chaplin. Today, these lightweight, diminutive tables stand on their own, next to beds and chairs as an accompanying surface or on top of each other in a convenient stack.
