Love Letter: Eames Molded Plywood Table

Dear Eames molded plywood coffee table,

Before we even met, I knew who you were. I watched you from afar, admired your shape, your curves, and the way your legs stood arched, confident, and strong.

I knew we’d be good together–so I made you mine. But it wasn’t until I got you home that I found out how great things could be.

Not only are you good-looking, but you’re also versatile, smart, and hardworking. One minute you’re the star of the room, outshining all the rest. The next, you’re balancing it all–from stacks of unread magazines and hardback books to glasses of wine and steamin’-hot plates full of dinner.

You’ve helped make my house (okay, my apartment) a home. And I can’t thank you enough for all that you do. Happy Valentine’s Day, you gorgeous thing you.

Love,

Amy
