The Moulded Plywood Coffee Table: Metal Legs was originally designed by Charles and Ray Eames and introduced in 1946 as part of their iconic moulded plywood furniture collection. Known as the CTM (Coffee Table, Metal Base), the table pairs a circular moulded plywood top with tubular steel legs. This innovative design reflects the Eameses’ wartime experimentation with moulding techniques, which allowed them to create lightweight and durable furniture with minimal material waste.

The CTM was developed alongside its wooden-legged counterpart, the CTW, and was initially manufactured by the Evans Molded Plywood Company. Its tubular steel legs add a sleek, industrial element to the design, complementing the organic warmth of the plywood top. The table’s simple yet functional construction demonstrates the Eameses’ focus on creating versatile and accessible furniture for modern living. Its enduring appeal lies in its timeless silhouette, material innovation, and adaptability to a variety of interior spaces.

Key Features:

  • Material Innovation: Five-ply top and tubular steel legs reflect advanced moulding and industrial techniques.
  • Sleek Design: Circular top and slender metal legs create a simple, modern profile.
  • Versatile Placement: Suitable for living rooms, lounges, or office spaces.
  • Historical Significance: Reproduction of the original Eameses’ groundbreaking 1946 Moulded Plywood Collection, featuring iconic designs like the LCW, DCW, and CTW.
