Coffee Table - Jumbo - Gae Aulenti

The Jumbo coffee table was originally designed by Gea Aulenti in 1965. However, it was not until 1968 that she first collaborated with Knoll on two showroom designs - Boston (1968) and 745 Fifth Avenue in New York (1970). In 1972 Knoll introduced the Jumbo Table, an imposing design for a marble coffee table. The square Carrara marble top is supported by four double column legs that fit perfectly into the cut-out round corners. This is a very early edition from the first half of the 1970s. The early editions can be recognised by the high-gloss lacquered marble. The table shows patina, light discolouration and signs of use over many decades.
