About this piece
Designed by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller in 1964, this Segmented Base circular table showcases one of the Eames Office's most versatile furniture systems. The 140cm round table features a distinctive blue laminate top formed from four joining segments, positioned on its original-style white painted steel base.
The segmented construction is an integral part of the design, reflecting the modular approach developed by the Eames Office for tables used across dining, work, and conference environments. In very good vintage condition with only minor age-related wear, this table brings an authentic piece of mid-century modern design into a contemporary interior.
Available to view at the Fox & Wedge Torquay studio.
Vintage Eames Segmented Base Table by Herman Miller
The Eames Segmented Base table system was developed by the Eames Office as a flexible solution for a wide range of furniture applications. Introduced in the 1960s, its modular components could be combined to create tables in different sizes and configurations.
This circular example dates from 1964 and demonstrates the system's distinctive construction through its four-part blue laminate tabletop. The individual segments meet at the centre, creating a subtle geometric feature that is characteristic of the design.
Supported by a white painted steel base, the table balances practical construction with the clean modernist aesthetic associated with Charles and Ray Eames. Its generous 140cm diameter makes it equally useful as a dining table, meeting table, or centrepiece for a creative workspace.

Design Story
Working from the United States from the 1940s onward, they approached design as a total system rather than isolated objects. Their work blended architecture, furniture, photography, film, and everyday life into one coherent vision.
They are best known for their long collaboration with Herman Miller, which helped bring their ideas into homes and offices worldwide. Together they created pieces that are still instantly recognisable today.
Among their most iconic designs is the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, a piece that combined plywood shell construction with luxurious comfort and became a global symbol of modern living. Earlier work like the LCW chair explored new ways of shaping wood into ergonomic forms, while their molded plastic chairs, including the DSW, brought accessible modern design into everyday dining rooms.
They also extended their thinking beyond furniture. The Eames House in California, part of the Case Study House program, shows their core philosophy clearly: modular structure, honest materials, and a deep respect for how people actually live.
The Eames legacy is not just a set of famous objects. It is a way of thinking about design as something that should be playful, useful, scalable, and deeply human at the same time.
