Eames Coffee Table Marble white Vitra

A dream in (black and) white: the Eames Coffee Table in marble by Vitra.  A frame made of black ash and round steel, a table top in white Carrara marble: more is not needed for the Eames coffee table to emit pure elegance.

Classic in New

The table is the re-edition of the famous Eames Coffee Table from 1949. The coffee table was created by the true experts of post-war design Charles and Ray Eames. 2016 the Swiss manufacturer Vitra brought the table as a re-edition onto the market together with Eames Office.

Marble is a pretty, yet delicate material. The table top of the Eames Coffee Table is brushed and waxed making it more durable against acids - but vinegar and citric acid the table should be kept away from.

Facts about marble

That marble is one of the classiest materials of nature is common knowledge. But what is marble exactly? Marble is a carbonat stone consisting of Calcit, Dolomit or Aragonit. And from where comes the word ‚marble‘? Like very often from the Greek language, from mármaros meaning ‚glow‘.

For the Eames Coffee Table white Carrara-marble is used. Carrara is a small village in Tuscany where stones are mined since 50 b.c. The delicate grey veines give the marble that certain something.
