I love the Eames chairs, but too much plywood can be...well...too much. I think the chairs look lovely paired with a Saarinen tulip table.

You can keep the Eames theme going with some low wire side tables.

Anything low and simple will work - as long as it doesnt distract from the beauty and lines of the chairs.

Ps. I love the Noguchi table, but paired with the Eames chairs is fast becoming a design cliche.

The logical choice would be an Eames ltr table http://www.architonic.com/1023963.

If you didn't already have a noguchi table there, you could go with a Saarinen tulip table, but as it is, it would be a bit much to have such a tight modernist cluster (Eames, Saarinen, Noguchi)

I like the Japser Morrison Cork Family stools from Vitra. Sort of a contemporary update of the Eames Time-Life stools and similarly scaled. I want at least one for myself (I LOVE CORK!). You might also look at Morrison's less expensive cork tables sold through DWR and elswhere...a dark chocolate color and a slightly different look.
