Petal' Coffee Table by Richard Schultz for Knoll Associates, 1960s, Signed
This 1st Generation original of the 'Petal' coffee table with Redwood 'petals' by Richard Schultz for Knoll Associates, designed in 1960, is a favorite amongst Mid-Century Modern collectors and enthusiasts. This example is signed with a Knoll Associates label with their 320 Park Avenue address (dating this table from 1961 to 1968).
Schultz designed the Petal series, with dining, coffee, and side /drinks table size variants, which won the design award from Industrial Design Magazine in 1961.
The beautiful Redwood top was professionally refinished, and features eight petal sections made from wood which each attach to the branch styled steel pronged base.
This 'Petals' coffee table by Richard Schultz for Knoll International would work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern or Danish modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a contemporary or Postmodern room. Also consider mixing it up in a traditional, transitional, classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office.
