1980s Joseph D'Urso for Knoll Studios Black Dining Table with original 48" Round Black Laminate top and black steel caster legs. Celebrated minimalist and internationally renowned interior designer Joseph D’Urso first translated his signature spare aesthetic to furniture for Knoll in 1980. With simple lines, lean proportions and industrial materials, the collection of tables reflects D’Urso’s preference for objects that look more engineered than styled. “The tables span any function from home to office,” explains D’Urso. “I tried to create a palette of choices so one can decide what is most appropriate for each situation.”
