The classic Laccio table is one of several examples of 20th century design continued to feel current and relevant to the present day. The table was designed in 1925, and some feel they bent steel tube formations again from many other furniture from this period. However, it is not to be confused Laccio table with any other piece of furniture, whether from this time or after the table has its own special personality. This is because the inspiration for the table's design was taken from a bicycle frame.
Laccio is primarily a table for the living room. It can be used as a coffee table or side table, or even as a TV or stereo rack.

About the Plywood Coffee table
The Plywood Coffee table is a traditional design that yet manages to stay modern and comtemporary as it can be combined with any piece of furniture style. The table is round like a saucer, and just like a saucer the edges are turned upwards. This stops things falling off the table, and it also hinders any spillage to drop onto the carpet. Plywood Coffee Table is a prime example of how the Eames have incorporated everyday usability in their design. For other plywood designs from Charles Eames, see LCM lounge chair, DCW dining chair and LCW lounge chair.
History of the Plywood Coffee table
Designed in 1946, the Plywood Coffee table is one of several works that was born from Charles and Ray Eames’ experimentation with plywood during the 1940’s. Through applying heat and pressure on wood veneer, and then gluing them together, strong, softly rounded and delicate shapes in wood. Several of the couple’s chairs stemming from this time were also created with this technique.
