Vitra - Charles & Ray Eames - Coffee table - Elliptical ETR - Wood, Metal

The Vitra Elliptical ETR Coffee Table is a design by Charles and Ray Eames and belongs to the icons of modern design from the twentieth century. The table was developed in the fifties and is known for its distinctive elliptical shape. This design quickly earned the nickname “surfboard table” because of its elongated silhouette that is both elegant and functional. The table combines a light appearance with a solid construction and is therefore suitable for a variety of living environments.

The tabletop consists of a core of poplar plywood with a surface of high-quality laminate. The edges are lacquered for extra protection and a tidy finish. The wire base is made of powder-coated steel and provides stability and a refined balance between lightness and solidity. Thanks to this construction, the Vitra Elliptical ETR Coffee Table is durable, easy to maintain, and suitable for daily use in the living space.

The proportion between length, width, and height has been carefully worked out, giving the table a balanced and calm appearance. The elliptical shape makes it possible to place the table both centrally in a seating area and freestanding without the overall look becoming heavy. Through the use of high-quality materials and precise finishing, the table retains its appearance even after many years of use.
