Eames Herman Miller Wire Base Elliptical Surfboard Coffee Table

An early and rare edition of the ‘ETR’ (Elliptical Table Rod base) known as the ‘Surfboard’ coffee table. Design by Charles & Ray Eames in 1951 for Herman Miller. Black laminated table top. Unlike the later editions with the regular plywood construction, this version has 3 layers of solid pine. The steel wire base shows lovely light oxidation and patina. You’ll be hard pressed to find a nicer example of this design. This is perfect as a large scale coffee table, but would also work wonderfully under a large window with plants and books on top, or at the foot of a low bed.
