A rare modern coffee table designed by Alexander Girard for Braniff Airlines & Herman Miller. Model #66350. Originally designed as part of a suite furniture for Braniff Airlines in 1965. Later produced by Herman Miller for a single year in 1967. The base is made of cast aluminum. There are 4 legs that come together with hinges in the center which allows the legs to pivot. A classic modern design with sleek tapered legs. This example is shown with glass (not original to the base) but also can accommodate granite or marble. Alexander Girard was a prominent figure in postwar US design. Known for his playful textile designs, this coffee table design is a slight departure for Girard. Since this coffee table was produced just a couple of years, it is highly sought after and collectable. From a private collection in Bloomfield, MI. The original owner was part of the board at Cranbrook Academy. Dimensions: 15.75”h x 38”dia. In very good vintage condition consistent with age. Slight scratches and patina on base.
