This classic table's top and legs are shaped by molding thin wood veneers under heat and pressure--the same breakthrough process Charles and Ray Eames used to create their molded plywood chairs. The coffee table first came to Herman Miller's attention when George Nelson, design director, saw it and other Eames molded plywood products at a showing in the Barclay Hotel in New York City in the mid-1940s. Nelson contacted the Eameses and soon afterward, they were designing for Herman Miller. The Herman Miller Eames Molded Plywood Coffee Table is also known by the following manufacturer Item Numbers: LTRT.BK, LTRT.WH, LTRT.AV.
