SIMPLICITY AND SERENITY
The Eames Wire Base Table¡¯s scaled-down profile shows the influence of Japanese forms and households based on an aesthetic ideal of simplicity, serenity, and restraint. In fact, the Eames family used this table in their home during a tea ceremony that included Isamu Noguchi and Charlie Chaplin.

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."

INNOVATIVE DESIGN
In the late 1940s, Charles Eames noted all the "fantastic things being made of wire." That fascination led Charles and Ray Eames to develop a mass-production technique for simultaneously welding wire rods. One result was the wire-base table introduced in 1950. Their work yielded many other breakthrough products ¡ª including wire chairs, storage units, and elliptical tables.

VERSATILE PRACTICALITY
Line a few of them up to work like a coffee table. Use them as bedside tables. Stack one on top of another to serve as an end table next to a sofa. Scatter them around a room or put them outdoors on your deck or patio. Anywhere you need a small surface that makes a big statement.
