Vitra Prouvé EM Table

Coined by designer Jean Prouvé, this philosophy means that every element of the table is dictated by its structural function. The angled legs and crossbar are not merely decorative; they are engineered to clearly illustrate and manage the structural forces of the table, resulting in its signature industrial look.

The solid wood options, such as American Walnut or Oak, offer a warm, tactile experience that will develop a unique patina over time. In contrast, the High Pressure Laminate (HPL) surface is highly durable and resistant to scratches and heat, making it a more practical choice for high-traffic dining areas.

Yes, the table's robust construction and clean, industrial lines make it an excellent choice for both home offices and professional conference rooms. Its stable base provides a solid work surface, and its aesthetic fits seamlessly into modern professional environments.

The oiled finish provides a natural, matte look but requires more care than lacquered or laminate surfaces. You should avoid harsh chemicals, clean spills immediately, and periodically re-apply a wood oil to maintain the finish and protect the timber from drying out.

The table is exceptionally stable. The inwardly canted legs, combined with the tubular steel crossbar, create a rigid frame that effectively distributes weight and prevents wobbling, even on larger table sizes.

Yes, Vitra offers various customization options for the EM Table. You can select from several wood or laminate finishes for the top and pair them with different powder-coated colors for the steel base to suit your specific interior design scheme.
