Designed in 1961 for La Fonda del Sol restaurant at Rockefeller Center, La Fonda dining table embodies the exploration of the chicness of steel and tubular shapes loved by the duo Charles & Ray Eames.
Name of the product : La Fonda
Designer : Charles et Ray Eames
Description : Charles and Ray Eames were very happy to invite you to dinner. And if you like to receive a lot of guests, you also need a good table to have enough space for food, drinks and also decorative elements. The two designers created this table themselves: Vitra’s 130 cm diameter segmented round table. The basic elements of the basic frame are held together by a “connector”, which is not only an important part of the sophisticated modularity of the table, but also represents the “connection” that guests and guests share at a table. The different possible combinations of table tops and frames make it possible to configure the Vitra segmented dining table to fit perfectly into any dining room.

This book is the first major monograph devoted to the Hôtel de Beauharnais, today the residence of the German ambassador in Paris, a masterpiece of the Empire style and, for two centuries, a major element of Franco-German history. Built in 1713 by the architect Germain Boffrand, it was in 1803 that Prince Eugène de Beauharnais acquired it and, with the help of his mother, Empress Joséphine, undertook sumptuous works that placed the hotel at the forefront of art history and were at the origin of its reputation. After the fall of the Empire, it became the Parisian pied-à-terre of the Prussian king, then the German embassy, before becoming the residence of the German ambassador to Paris in 1968. Most of the interiors from Prince Eugene’s time have been preserved and this book, thanks to an exceptional photographic campaign, bears witness to the incredible beauty of this exceptional place. As a result of extensive research and restoration work that lasted more than ten years, it traces the history of this building and the destiny of those who lived in it with great documentary wealth.
