Story
A universal solution
The design story describes a system of tables that the Eames office developed from 1957 to 1964 for the needs of daily living. Its bases were meant to take tops of various sizes and materials, and Herman Miller calls the result a universal solution for dining and working, meeting and living.

One base, many tops
The contract base was, according to the product sheet, the original base design created by the Eameses for the J. Irwin Miller house, and the segmented base covers the broadest range of uses, from large dining tables to long conference tables.
