This experimental coffee table features a slate top that rests on a molded aluminum tray which connects to an unfinished production base. The original slate features four Eames rubber shockmounts adhered to the underside to center the top on the tray. This experimental design explores solutions for cost effective shipping and an easy to set up product. Tom Hoffman of Herman Miller was connected to this project.
Signed to underside of slate: [Tom Hoffman].
