A reintroduction of the coffee table Charles and Ray Eames designed in 1949 for their Pacific Palisades home, the Eames Coffee Table features a base reminiscent of the wood dowel option on Eames Shell Chairs. Working closely with the Eames Office, keepers of the Eames design legacy, Herman Miller replaced the original rectangular top, which was covered in gold leaf, with a choice of square or rectangular tops available in a variety of more practical materials.

With a grand sense of adventure, Charles and Ray Eames turned their curiosity and boundless enthusiasm into creations that established them as a truly great husband-and-wife design team. Their unique synergy led to a whole new look in furniture. Lean and modern. Playful and functional. Sleek, sophisticated, and beautifully simple. That was and is the "Eames look."

The bases are offered in natural maple, white ash, ebony and walnut dowels with a white, black or trivalent chrome wire. The top features either a white ash, ebony, walnut or santos palisander veneers or carrara marble top. Veneer top tables are shipped assembled. Tables with stone tops ship ready to assemble.
