Misleadingly simple in appearance, the Vitra Eames Segmented Dining Table - Rectangular takes a formidable base crafted from heavy-set metal and combines it with a sturdy yet nimble tabletop, which together creates an illusion of the contradictory notes of lightness and reliability. The Eames's understood that the role of the table extended far beyond that of it being a platform simply for the delivery of food, and the generous proportions of the table really exhibit this; it's a vast piece of furniture that will act as the communal hub of any home, with it's generous "Boat-shaped" proportions comfortably seating six to eight people with ease. Available in two sizes, and three different finishes, the Vitra Eames Segmented Dining Table is the height of understated sophistication and a truly "forever" piece of furniture. Also available in a round configuration.
American husband and wife design duo Charles and Ray Eames have had a profound influence on the visual character of American life, producing original work within the fields of architecture, furniture design, industrial design, manufacturing and the photographic arts.
The Eames’ first partnered with Vitra in 1957 to produce some of the most iconic pieces of furniture in the history of interior design. Today Vitra continues to reflect their philosophy on design and functionality, best understood through Charles’ own words: “Recognising the need is the primary condition for the design”.
