Early Eames LTR Side Table

$1,800.00

First-generation LTR (Low Table Rod Base) designed by Charles and Ray Eames and produced by Herman Miller in the United States, circa 1950s. Originally conceived as a lightweight utility table, the LTR reflects the Eames Office's interest in efficient construction and industrial materials. This early example pairs a birch veneer top with the original zinc-plated wire base, a finish used on the earliest LTRs before Herman Miller introduced black enameled bases. The exposed plywood edge and welded steel construction recall the industrial language explored throughout the Eames Storage Unit (ESU) series. The table retains its original Herman Miller "red crown" water-transfer label, one of the earliest manufacturer's marks used during 1950s production.
