Authentic Eames Segmented Base Dining Table for Herman Miller
Designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1964, the Segmented Base Table remains a cornerstone of 20th-century industrial design.
This piece captures the Eames' rigorous approach to honest materials, utilising a modular base system that provides exceptional stability through clever engineering rather than bulk. It is an enduring example of the Eames' ability to blend architectural precision with a warm, residential aesthetic.
The Eames Design Philosophy
The Modular System: The segmented base was a breakthrough in office and home furniture, allowing for various configurations while maintaining a consistent design language.
Architectural Silhouette: The four-star aluminum base is designed to minimise floor obstruction, creating a floating effect for the circular top.
Production: This authentic Herman Miller piece represents the height of mid-century manufacturing, built to a standard that has allowed it to remain functional and beautiful for decades.
