Herman Miller Eames Elliptical 89 In Low Profile Used Coffee Table, White

Charles and Ray Eames designed the Elliptical Table for Herman Miller in 1951, and it has been in continuous production ever since. Known almost universally as the Surfboard table for its long tapered ellipse, it is one of the small handful of mid century pieces that reads as immediately recognizable in a room. It has been specified into lobbies, executive reception areas, showrooms, media lounges and design offices for seventy years for exactly that reason.

This pre-owned Elliptical Table has a white laminate top with an exposed plywood edge banding, carried on the original black wire strut base. That base is the same one the Eameses developed for their wire base tables: two splayed trestles built from welded steel rod, cross braced in a repeating triangular pattern that the couple used across their furniture. Because the structure is drawn in wire rather than built in mass, the base almost disappears under the top, and the tabletop appears to hover.

The proportions are the whole point of the piece. At 89 inches long, 29 and a quarter inches deep and under 10 inches high, this is far longer and far lower than a conventional coffee table. That combination lets it run the full length of a sofa or a modular lounge grouping and still sit low enough to see straight across a room over it, which is why it works so well in reception areas where sight lines matter. The white laminate surface is durable and easy to clean, and it lets the black wire structure underneath do all the visual work.

Features:

  • Eames Elliptical Table: A Charles and Ray Eames design produced by Herman Miller since 1951.
  • 89 Inch Length: Long enough to run the full length of a sofa or lounge grouping.
  • Low Profile: Under 10 inches high, so it never breaks a sight line across a room.
  • White Laminate Top: Durable, easy to clean surface with exposed plywood edge banding.
  • Original Black Wire Base: Welded steel rod trestles in the Eames cross braced pattern.
  • Elliptical Top: The tapered ellipse that gave the piece its Surfboard nickname.
  • Floating Appearance: The wire structure recedes visually so the top seems to hover.
  • Continuous Elliptical Edge: One smooth unbroken curve the whole way around, easy to walk past.
  • Two Trestle Supports: The base leaves the center span completely open underneath.
  • Design Icon: Held in permanent museum design collections and still in production today.
  • Ideal for Lobbies and Reception: Also suits showrooms, media lounges and executive waiting areas.
