Vitra Gueridon Bas Coffee Table
Manufacturer: Vitra | Designer: Jean Prouvé, 1944
Wood, Metal, and a Low Centre of Gravity
In the early 1940s, Jean ProuvĂ© began to work more extensively with wood. The GuĂ©ridon Bas has a heavy top in solid oak or American walnut resting on three legs in the same wood, joined together by a robust connecting element in bent sheet metal. The result is a low coffee table with a strong material presence â substantial without being heavy.
The dark finish version harks back to an original made from tropical wood, known as the Table Africaine. Both versions are available in natural oak, dark oak, or American walnut.

Also available as the Vitra Guéridon Dining Table. Part of the Vitra Jean Prouvé Collection, Vitra Coffee Tables and Coffee Tables collections.
