A Collector's Eames Dining Table with a Bespoke Platner-Edge Italian Travertine Top

Showcasing an exceptional and unique dining suite, pairing the iconic 1960s designs of Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller with a magnificent custom Italian stone top. This set was imported from a Los Angeles collection in 2004 and represents a beautiful fusion of authentic vintage character and bespoke luxury.


The foundation is the timeless Eames ET610 contract table base from the 1960s, with its classic black steel column and four-star polished aluminium legs. This supports a substantial, custom-made Italian Travertine tabletop, crafted by the renowned stonemasons at C.I.M. Italy in November 2004.


The tabletop is distinguished by a sophisticated, bevelled Platner-style edge, a detail synonymous with the highest level of mid-century design. This premium finish is complemented by an extraordinary feature: embedded within the travertine is the fossil of an ancient bivalve mollusc. By a remarkable feat of chance, the stone was perfectly sliced during its preparation, revealing a flawless and captivating heart-shaped cross-section. This beautiful accident of geology and craftsmanship elevates the piece from furniture to a work of natural art.

Design Story

Herman Miller is one of the most influential furniture manufacturers of the 20th and 21st centuries, known for shaping modern design as much as filling offices and homes.

Founded in 1905 in Michigan as a traditional furniture company, it transformed in the 1930s under the leadership of D.J. De Pree. Instead of playing it safe with conventional styles, the company leaned into modernism, collaborating with visionary designers who would go on to define an era.

The turning point came through partnerships with figures like Charles Eames and Ray Eames, whose molded plywood and fiberglass chairs became icons of mid century design. George Nelson, the company’s design director, helped establish a cohesive and forward thinking identity, bringing in talents like Isamu Noguchi.

Over time, Herman Miller built a reputation for blending aesthetics with function. That philosophy carried into the late 20th century with innovations like the Aeron Chair, which redefined office seating and became a symbol of early tech culture.

Today, Herman Miller remains a global design leader, balancing heritage with innovation. Its pieces are not just furniture, they’re cultural artifacts that quietly signal taste, whether in a Silicon Valley office or a carefully curated living room.
