Florence Knoll 96" Dining Table in Polished Carrara Marble

Creator: Florence Knoll
Offered by: Object Refinery

Description
Florence Knoll's transformative influence on Mid-Century design is reflected in every piece of furniture that bears her name, including this elegant dining table. As a pioneer in interior design, Knoll founded the renowned "Planning Unit," serving illustrious clients like IBM and CBS while reshaping the modern American home and workspace.

Knoll’s commitment to functionality and aesthetics often led her to design furniture for spaces that lacked suitable options, resulting in the creation of her now-iconic furniture collection. From sofas and lounge chairs to tables, each piece embodies her timeless vision of modernism and continues to grace homes and offices with understated elegance.

This visually weightless 96" table was originally marketed as both a desk and a dining table, with room for 8 guests. The oval top, crafted from exquisite Carrara Marble features subtle light gray veins, a polished coating, and refined bullnosed edge inspired by Eero Saarinen’s iconic Tulip Pedestal Tables. The base, however, is distinctly Florence Knoll—an ingenious design of four solid cast steel splayed legs converging into a single central column. This masterfully balanced structure achieves a remarkable sense of weightlessness, despite its substantial materials.

This 2013 iteration 96" Florence Knoll Dining Table remains in excellent original condition, showcasing only minor wear consistent with its age and history. One point of minor wear exists in the clear coat of the marble shown in our photography, however there are absolutely no defects in this monumental slab of marble, a true feat. This table is a testament to Florence Knoll’s ability to combine superb craftsmanship with an enduring sense of modern sophistication, making it an ideal centerpiece for any discerning collector or design enthusiast.
