The Eames ETR Elliptical Table by Vitra was designed in 1951. This low coffee table with its elegant elliptical shape ressembles a surfboard and was quickly given the nickname "surfboard table". With its double square base, the table formally references a theme repeatedly varied on by the Eames, namely that of shaped steel rods welded together to make a fixed, static structure. Available with black or white laminated plywood top.
