"SHAMROCK" OAK, BRUSHED AND POLISHED ALLOY DINING TABLE OR DESK
Designed by George Ciancimino for Jens Risom circa 1970s | unmarked
Item # 802PVK24S
A lively and beautifully made table that could be used either as a minimalist executive desk or as a dining table, was designed by George Ciancimino for Jens Risom in the 1970s. Ciancimino designed many pieces in this line, including several versions with full collections of drawers for a more complete desk.
The brilliant grain of the oak veneered top is recessed into the brushed metal frame, these coming together with a perfect joint against the inset shamrock legs. The natural wood against the metal is a very nice juxtaposition that softens the material and makes it warm. This example works beautifully as both an executive desk or as a smaller dining table.
Measurements: 72 1/4” W x 37 1/4” D x 28 1/2” H
Condition Report:
A few spots of ding and surface flaws to the oak; numerous scuffs and abrasions to polished legs and apron; sturdy and very strong.
