To celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the birth of Ray Eames, we’re offering a Select Edition of the Eames Wire Base Low Table for a limited time in colors Ray would have appreciated: cobalt blue, red-orange, and yellow-gold. A small, low table of elegant proportions, the classic design is endlessly adaptable — use it alone to support everything from plants to display pieces to laptops, stack a few bedside or next to a sofa as a side table, or group several together to form a coffee table or an even larger surface. Need some inspiration? Here’s a look at how homes and workspaces across the country incorporate the timeless and flexible Eames design.

Designed by Terence Conran, the Charles and Ray Eames Room in London’s Boundary hotel lives up to its name: a Wire Base Low Table, serving as a side table next to the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, an Aluminum Group Management Chair, and a Hang-It-All all call the space home.

Several Eames LTRs line up for a child’s birthday party to celebrate a traditional tea ceremony much like the one Charles and Ray hosted in 1950 (the inspiration for the first design of their low table — see it here). (Photo: uplatecakes.blogspot.com)


The perfect perch for you cat? Explains Flickr user Vincent van der Heijden: “So I wanted a nice sidetable for my Sunday morning nespressos, but in the evenings it has a totally different purpose: it then acts as a daybed for my kitty. The LTR occasional kitty daybed….” (Photo: Vincent van der Heijden / Flickr)
