Florence KNOLL (1917-2019), Table with oval top model "Table Desk - Oval 96", for WB Form Switzerland, 1966-1976. The top is in red Swiss Breccia di Arzo marble and the metal legs have a gold finish. With the publisher's label under the top. The table is no longer produced in this version. H. 73 x 244 x 137 cm Weight: approx. 250 kg (marble top) As is. A few scratches due to wear on the top and natural cracks in the stone. Breccia di Arzo marble is an extremely rare variety from the Arzo quarries in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland. Never included in Knoll's international standard catalogue, and with the quarries now closed, these tops can no longer be reproduced, making them finished pieces and true testaments to Swiss design. The gold-finish base is a top-of-the-range option, rarer than the usual chrome versions. This specific combination - red Arzo marble and gold base - is particularly exceptional and highly sought-after on the secondary market. The rarity of this model is also explained by the fact that it was a 'Swiss edition', intended for a niche market. These tables were generally made to order for top-of-the-range Swiss executive offices or residences, rather than for general public distribution.
