Katavalos, Littell, and Kelley 48" Dining Table, Carrara Marble, Laverne, 1960's

This rare 1960s dining table by Katavolos, Littell, and Kelley for Laverne is an exceptional example of the trio’s sculptural, architectural approach to modern design. Measuring 48 inches in diameter and 30 inches tall, it’s the perfect scale for a smaller kitchen, breakfast nook, or chic bistro-style dining area; intimate, elegant, and impossibly chic.

The circular Carrara marble top is in excellent vintage condition, free from chips and notable damage, with beautiful natural veining that reads quietly luxurious rather than busy. Supporting the top is a striking three-legged chrome base, a direct visual echo of the designers’ iconic three-legged T-chairs, a detail that will make any mid-century aficionado’s heart sing.

Each leg features a trumpeted, fluted form that flares upward and pierces directly through the marble top, creating exposed through-joints that are visible on the surface-- an audacious and highly intentional design choice that blurs the line between structure and ornament. It’s engineering as art. (Note, the legs do not come off the table).

One chrome leg shows minor oxidation at the top, the only tell of the table’s age. A tiny whisper of patina that only adds credibility and character to this otherwise pristine piece.

This is not a table you see every day. Rare, sculptural, and collectible, it embodies the experimental spirit that made Katavolos, Littell, and Kelley so influential, and so sought after today.

A museum-worthy dining table that still feels effortless, modern, and entirely livable. This table would be incredible in any mid century modern, modern or contemporary home. As photographed with Mies Van de Rohe BRNO dining chair, this would pair nicely with Milo Baughman thinline chairs, Paul Evans or some other gorgeous dining chairs.
