Vitra Occasional LTR Coffee Table is a creation of the iconic Charles and Ray Eames, two figures recognised as pillars of 20th century design. Eschewing the notion of design as a purely functional tool, they left a legacy of pieces that fuse form and function with a distinctive and timeless aesthetic, including the LTR side table.
This small but durable coffee table was introduced in 1950 and became famous not only for its elegant design but also for its versatility. In their home, the famous Eames House, the couple exploited the Vitra Occasional LTR Coffee Table in a variety of ways, demonstrating its usefulness as a transversal piece in furniture.
Made with a steel rod base and available with different types of tops, namely the original laminate top or variants in stone or wood, the coffee table fits with its clean, elegant lines into both contemporary and more traditional interiors. Its small scale makes it ideal next to a favourite armchair, as a complement in a living room or as a display platform for art objects.
The Vitra Occasional LTR Coffee Table remains, to this day, an outstanding example of how a design can be instantly recognisable and consistently relevant, embodying continuous innovation and beauty in its simple lines and refined structure.
