Domande Frequenti

What does "EM" stand for in the EM Table?

The "EM" designation refers to the table's base construction, which Prouvé developed with a crossed steel support that visually expresses the distribution of structural forces. It is a name tied to the engineering logic of the piece rather than a decorative concept.

What tabletop and base finishes are available?

The steel base is available in Deep Black and Prouvé Blanc (Ecru) powder-coated finishes. The quick-ship configuration pairs a natural oak oiled top with a Deep Black aluminum base. Additional options are available on inquiry.

How does Jean Prouvé's industrial background shape this table?

Prouvé trained as a metalworker before becoming one of the most influential furniture designers of the 20th century. His work consistently prioritized structural honesty, and the EM Table's visible crossbar base is a direct product of that philosophy, where form follows the path of force.

Is the EM Table appropriate for both dining and workspace use?

Yes. Its proportions and materiality make it equally suited to a dining environment and a professional workspace or studio. The combination of an oak top and steel base gives it a presence that reads well in both domestic and contract settings.

How does Vitra authenticate the EM Table's original design?

Vitra holds the license to produce Jean Prouvé's furniture designs and works from original documentation and prototypes. Each piece is produced to specifications aligned with Prouvé's original intent, ensuring fidelity to both the construction method and the material character of the 1950s originals.
