Custom Knoll Monumental Dining Table in Mahogany & Chrome

Creator: Knoll
Offered by: Object Refinery

Description
Florence Knoll’s enduring impact on Mid-Century Modern design is unmistakably reflected in this monumental, custom-designed dining table. A pioneering figure in interior architecture, Knoll founded the influential “Planning Unit,” reshaping both corporate and residential spaces for clients such as IBM and CBS. Her dedication to functional elegance defined a generation of design, resulting in an iconic collection of furniture—sofas, lounge chairs, tables, desks, and credenzas—each a testament to her modernist philosophy.

This exceptional table comes from a complete suite of custom-ordered Knoll pieces, acquired from the estate of the original owners. Commissioned directly through Knoll, the table exemplifies a sculptural sensibility reminiscent of Warren Platner’s humanist aesthetic. There are no right angles in the design—only a continuous, sweeping radius that defines the tabletop and flows seamlessly into each chrome leg.

Measuring an impressive 90 inches long by 52 inches deep, this table comfortably accommodates a large gathering while maintaining a refined presence. The legs are crafted from heavy-gauge steel, chrome-plated with precision, and attach to a hidden internal steel frame. That same structural frame subtly emerges as an inset detail around the tabletop’s perimeter, adding an understated design accent.

The piece remains in original vintage condition, exhibiting only minor wear consistent with age. A factory-provided fifth leg is included for optional support and can be easily attached or removed. Also available is a matching custom Knoll credenza, offering a harmonious companion piece to complete the setting.
