With its double chromed base, the ETR Coffee Table references a theme repeated in many of the Eames' creations - a shaped steel rod base. Available in both black and white tabletop finishes, the table seamlessly blends in to a variety of interior scenarios, providing a useful surface with which to place books, drinks or any other household items. The chrome base lends the table an air of elegance perhaps unexpected of such a highly functional piece, which serves as one of the great subtle statement pieces of 20th-century design.
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”.
