Gilbert Rohde (1894-1944) designed this three foot in diameter coffee table for the Herman Miller Furniture Company, Zeeland, Michigan, where it was offered as their No. 4121 Coffee Table in the supplement to their Fall 1940 catalog. The table top is veneered in quarter book matched acacia burl (also called myrtle burl). The edges are veneered in Paldao wood from the Philippines. Rohde specified that the leather cloth legs should be “covered with Ashers Boretz # 302 brown - tacked with 5/16” antique brass tacks – heads close together”. The table is 36” in diameter, 15” high and is in exceptional original condition.
