The designer was true to his words when he created the Girard Coffee Table (1948) for Knoll. The art of this coffee table is its book-matched walnut veneer tabletop, organic shape, and smooth 45-degree beveled edge. The living part is in how the table can be positioned with either the straight or asymmetrical side toward the seating area, providing a large usable surface in a relatively narrow footprint. Girards work has been the subject of many museum exhibitions.
