Tons of Terrific Tables!!! And
did we mention… Eames for Herman Miller?? An abundance of awesome-ness!! This
is the classic universal base design by the iconic duo of designer’s husband
and wife team Charles and Ray Eames which was designed and began production in
1949. The 16 tables that we have to offer to you were produced late 20th
century. And these 4 tables have a gromet hole in the top. You will have the
opportunity to choose whether you want one (or all 4!) with the gromet hole or
not at checkout. The tops are round with light natural oak wood
veneer and mounted on the Eames iconic universal base. This base, including the
legs, pedestal, and table edge is black, and the spider attachment is aluminum
colored. It can be used in an office as a conference table, but it would be
equally as wonderful in your dining room. It is a handsome and timeless table
that will host many options of dining or office chairs. The epitome of
mid-century modern style. It’s definitely an AWESOME piece of furniture thanks
to the genius that was Charles and Ray Eames.
Charles Eames was born in St.
Louis, Missouri in 1907. Ray Kaiser Eames was born in Sacramento, California in
1912. They met at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan and were married in
1941. They moved together to California and continued their design work they
began together at Cranbrook. A commission, which they acquired from the
government during WWII to produce molded plywood splints and stretchers,
launched a career producing iconic mid-century modern furnishings which are
still fresh and sought after today. The Eames and their association with Herman
Miller were the partnership of the century. If you want to learn more about
Charles and Ray please visit Eames Office, the Eames Official website.
Herman Miller started life as
Star furniture Co. in Zeeland, Michigan in 1905 a producer of high-quality
furniture. Becoming Michigan Star Furniture Co in 1919, and then in 1923, when
long time employee Dirk Jan De Pree and his father-in-law purchased 51% of the
company stock, it was renamed Herman Miller Furniture Company. And remained so
until the 1960s when it became Herman Miller, Inc. Until the 1930s they
produced only traditional wood furniture, but the Great Depression caused a
need for change, and they hired modernist Gilbert Rohde who took the company in
a new successful direction. Upon Rohde’s death in 1944 he was replaced by none
other than the renowned George Nelson. Working with the likes of not only
Charles and Ray Eames but Isamu Noguchi, Alexander Girard, and Robert Propst,
to name just a few, Nelson led Herman Miller to became one of the finest names
in furniture and design.
Charles and Ray Eames had the
vision of making a better world. One in which things were designed to bring
pleasure into our lives. This table can do that for you! Don’t wait… Make one,
two, four, six, eight, or ALL 16 of them yours!!
