This rectangular coffee table was designed by Florence Knoll as part of her classic 1954 collection. It captures the essence of postwar modernist architecture, with its clean lines and rational design approach she adopted from her Bauhaus mentors and colleagues.
Florence Knoll modestly referred to her designs as the “meat and potatoes” of furniture, emphasizing their essential nature.

Florence Knoll’s Coffee Table design was created to furnish the new interiors of postwar America. It translates architectural lines, gestures, and materials into a functional domestic form, influenced by Mies van der Rohe’s principles. This slightly taller version is a balance between low-profile coffee tables and occasional tables, making it practical for holding drinks, books, plants, and decorative items.
