Plywood Coffee Table, Natural
Initially conceptualized around pre-WWII plywood molding technology, the iconic table's production was delayed by the war. This delay enabled Charles Eames to refine plywood molding, leading to the splint design for the military. This experience culminated in the 1946 mass production of this coffee table, a tribute to Eames' wartime innovation. Featuring lightweight, contoured designs, its saucer-like top and arched legs mirror the original post-war release. You can enjoy a modern reproduction inspired by Eames, complementing both plywood sitting areas and contemporary lounges. Constructed with heat-molded plywood, the table incorporates 8 cross-plies in its base and 5 in its top. It maintains kiln-dried stability, ensuring a consistent moisture balance. With a smooth hardwood surface, the table is finished with five layers of UV-cured polyurethane, resisting scratches. Its satin finish replicates the original subtle sheen. Made from North American Walnut, it boasts a Janka Hardness Rating of 1010 PSI, with dimensions of 16.5 inches in height and 34.3 inches in diameter.
