Vitra side tables: Occasional Table LTR

Occasional Table LTR is a small, versatile table designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1950. It works as a side table, a bedside table or in groups, where its light, graphic design comes into its own. The name LTR comes from Low Table Rod, which describes its structure and size.

Tops, bases and colours

The table has a wide choice of material combinations, from wood and laminate to steel and colour. Tops include Black Laminate, White Laminate, Dark Oak, Dark Walnut and Natural Chestnut. Bases are black, white or Stainless Steel, and some colourful options pair Jade with Sea Foam Green or Smoke Blue with Sky Blue. This lets the table fit both a calm and a colourful room.

Using it at home

Place the table next to a sofa or an armchair, use it as a bedside table, or group several tops and heights for a casual arrangement. The small footprint suits compact rooms. Part of the wider Occasional family by Vitra, it fits with the coffee tables in the same series. The mix of tops makes it easy to match the floor, the sofa or the colour of the walls. The graphic shape looks equally good in a hall or a nursery.
