USA, 1950s
Black lacquered wood
This vintage black lacquer multi-level side table, designed by Terence Harold Robsjohn-Gibbings in the 1950s, exemplifies the refined balance between classical inspiration and American modernism. Manufactured by the Widdicomb Furniture Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where Robsjohn-Gibbings served as chief designer, the piece reflects his distinctive synthesis of Greek-inspired forms with clean, modern lines. Its layered structure and glossy black lacquer finish highlight his timeless, architectural approach to furniture design.
