About the Item

Clean and crisp architectural style coffee table designed by renowned architect, Radislav Rado and manufactured by Knoll and Drake. This rare minimalist table has a white laminate top and an enameled steel base in an X form. It was manufactured as part of a collaboration between Knoll Associates and Drake Furniture for one year in 1955. About the designer, from the New York Times: Ladislav Leland Rado, an architect whose work stands in cities around the world, died on Tuesday at his home in Biscayne Beach, Fla. He was 84 and also had a home in Armonk, N.Y. Mr. Rado was born in Czechoslovakia, was a graduate of the University of Prague and began his architectural career in Brno. He came to the United States at the invitation of Walter Gropius, then the chairman of the architecture school at Harvard University, and received his master's degree from Harvard in 1940. In 1945, he and Antonin Raymond founded Raymond & Rado, which designed the American Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia; 2 Hammarskjold Plaza in Manhattan and the Federal Office Building in Albany as well as residential, recreational and industrial structures.
