tulip base in white lacquered aluminum, marked on the reverse "knoll international" and numbered 172-173.
round top in veined white marble with a raised edge. The top is not the original but a 19th-century piece.
in very good condition, with the following minor imperfections: scratches on the base, a few dents on the edge of the marble, and a stain in the center of the top.

A decidedly simple and futuristic design that celebrates eero's work against the "miserable clutter of legs" in furniture.
