These small, 10-inch-high tables gave Charles and Ray Eames the perfect place to serve chanoyu, the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, to special guests. They're also practical for everyday use as unique end tables, bedside tables, or occasional pieces. |

Small Wonder
Intricate base. Two U-shaped steel rods attach to the top; cross members add stability.
Finish choices. The base is powder-coat white, black or zinc.
Multilayered top. The tabletop is seven layers of Baltic birch plywood sandwiched between ash veneer or high-pressure laminate in black or white.
Revealing edges. They're beveled at 20 degrees so the top's plies are visible.
Compact size. 13 1/4 inches deep and 15 1/2 inches wide. |

Design Story
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--including wire chairs, storage units, and elliptical tables. |
