With its elongated Elliptical form, the Eames ETR Coffee Table quickly picked up the ‘surfboard table’ moniker after its release. Its supporting structure also references a theme repeated in many of the design duo’s creations - a shaped steel rod base.
Available in both black and white tabletop finishes and matching base colours, the iconic table seamlessly blends into a variety of interior styles, providing a spacious surface on which to place books, drinks and decorative items.
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”.
