Florence Knoll's End 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 end table is slightly taller than the coffee tables from the series. It is a balance between low-profile coffee tables and occasional tables, making it practical for holding drinks, books, plants, and decorative items.
