Story
A small surface in wire and plywood
Charles and Ray Eames designed the Wire Base Low Table in 1950. Herman Miller emphasizes the contrast between its compact top and the wire-rod structure below, presenting it as an innovative use of welded metal.
One form, several surfaces
The current range keeps the same 15-by-13.25-inch footprint while changing the surface material. Laminate, veneer, and marble choices sit above bases in chrome or powder-coated finishes, retaining the same low ten-inch profile.
