This sculptural table by John Dickinson is crafted from galvanized steel, meticulously formed to resemble flowing draped fabric.
Brass trim outlines the contours of the piece, while an internal steel structure with adjustable feet provides stability.
Signed with a brass plaque reading “John Dickinson / SUTHERLAND.” The surface was originally clear-coated to preserve the metal and protect it over time.
This piece exemplifies Dickinson’s ability to elevate everyday forms into poetic and functional art objects, balancing visual wit with lasting craftsmanship.
More about the Designer
John Dickinson (1920–1982) was a San Francisco-based designer known for his imaginative, often surreal approach to interiors and furniture.
Using materials like plaster, wood, and metal, he created pieces that played with illusion—rigid forms that appeared soft, playful shapes with classical roots.
His work blends historical references with a modern sensibility, resulting in a body of design that is both conceptually rich and visually striking. Though produced in limited numbers, Dickinson’s creations have become icons of American design and are now part of major museum and private collections worldwide.
Origination: USA, 1970s. Purchased from private collection, Switzerland 2025.
Signs of use in the form of scratches in the clear coat, some corrosion to the brass and loss of finish as per images. Other than a normal clean up, we have left this piece untouched.
