Vitra Occasional Table LTR Designed by Charles & Ray Eames

The Occasional Table LTR (Low Table Rod Base) by Vitra, designed by Charles & Ray Eames in 1950, was conceived as a compact and versatile piece, used by the designers themselves in their famous Eames House for multiple purposes. Part of the Vitra Design Museum Collection, the re-edition remains faithful to the original project.

The tabletop comes in different finishes, each offering a distinct character. Solid wood versions highlight the natural beauty of the material: light oak with an oiled surface, dark-stained oak with a protective coating, or American walnut with its rich grain, sourced from carefully selected European forests. The tactile qualities of the wood convey warmth and authenticity. For those seeking more technical solutions, the table is also available with an HPL surface, featuring a poplar plywood core and a durable finish, or in linoleum, which combines a soft texture with understated elegance.

The base, crafted from steel rods, is available either with a powder-coated surface or in stainless steel, balancing structural strength with visual lightness. Compact and adaptable, the LTR reflects the Eames’ approach to everyday living, where design is closely tied to practicality and refined construction.
