With every single detail governed by its construction, the EM Table follows the aesthetics of necessity. The legs that are attached using a crossbar illustrate the force vectors and static connections more commonly seen in the context of civil engineering works. Each tapered leg is turned out and angled on a diagonal to distribute the downward flow of energy on the table, creating an incredibly sturdy surface for working or dining. A selection of solid wood table tops in Oak or Walnut are enhanced with an oiled finish that lend a warm balance to the table's mechanical efficiency. Jean Prouve originally designed the EM Table for the Maison Tropique project. EM stands for: Entretroise Metallique.
Vitra has manufactured furniture designs by Charles & Ray Eames and George Nelson since 1957. Building on this foundation, Vitra has developed a wide range of furnishings for the office, for the home and for public spaces in collaboration with progressive designers. Yet Vitra is more than just a design-oriented manufacturing company. The name also stands for the Vitra Design Museum, for a collection of modern furniture and its accompanying archive, for workshops and publications on topics of design, and for an architectural concept that unites buildings by Frank Gehry, Nicholas Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA at the Vitra Headquarters in Birsfelden (Switzerland) and on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany). Product longevity is central to Vitra's contribution to sustainable development; short-lived styling is avoided at all costs. This can be seen most clearly in the classical pieces of furniture that have been used for decades, had several owners and have then even ended up as a part of a collection. For Vitra, the manufacture of sustainable products means intense pre-production development, where the highest-grade materials are selected and tests are carried out that simulate 15 years of use. In order to enforce and monitor sustainable development in all business activities of the company, a work group was formed in 1986 by the name of 'Vitra and the Environment'. Because of this, Vitra can proudly claim that it has been dedicated to sustainability for nearly a quarter of a century.
