The couch and magazine/end table pictured were given to my wife by a relative. We believe these were originally among her grandparents' home furnishings circa 1951. The couch has been refinished and reupholstered at least once. There is a sticker on the underside of the couch indicating Knoll Associates. Will try to get a pic of that - first attempt wasn't legible.

I couldn't find any indication of manufacturer/designer on the magazine/end table, but it appears to be from the same period..?.. It does not appear to have been refinished or refurbished in any way.

Any ideas/information on these pieces would be greatly appreciated!

That's a Jens Risom for Knoll sofa and it dates to 1942! but was in production for awhile so yours could have been made in the 50s.

The end table looks a lot more recent, in my opinion.
