The plywood coffee table is simple in design and big on function. It is strong yet light weight.

It is made of molded 8 ply plywood for the legs or base and has a 5 ply plywood saucer like top.

It is so popular and multifunctional that Herman Miller have been manufacturing it for over fifty years. It is still available to enhance your home’s design.
It just goes to show that great design – like most of the Eames’s work is timeless.
