Story
A table for their own nook
In 1949 Charles and Ray Eames made this table for a cozy nook of their Pacific Palisades home, as the page's design story tells it, with a gold-leaf top and wood dowel legs braced by bent wire like the shell chairs that came a year later.
Into production in 2017
Charles and Ray produced two more versions with marble tops, but the design did not go into commercial production until 2017, when Herman Miller worked with the Eames Office to replace the gold-leaf top with more practical options.
