Designed for Moderns/New Dimensions  

Amazing material thank you...
Amazing material thank you so much for sharing!

my pleasure
I'm happy to share what I have - and to know what all of you think or any experience you have of any of these products -
Designed for Moderns was all about new materials (typical of the time, I think) and Micarta was big. An ad (because I don't have anything else documenting those tables), a photo, and the reverse of the photo, with dimensions

Wow
That is a cool table.

I just noticed that Panel...
I just noticed that Panel table up above with the triangular inserts. That is such an amazing design. I wonder if any have survived.

three more
product sheets, and we are getting toward the end of these ..
l1flafly, that "trick table" is great - I think the designer, Seymour Robins, was the source of the interlocking paper - three dimensional Christmas cards we got every year. As with all the Designed for Moderns/New Dimensions stuff, I wonder not only how much survived, but how much was ever produced. The trick table shows up in a couple of ads, so there must have been some ...
there are more trays in the metal mesh - will post pictures later

candle sconces
the ad is from Bride's magazine, Autumn, 1954 - I included it because it shows the colors, also, other cool stuff

Hello Kate Kaplan.
Just a quick note to thank you for your postings. All of us on this forum appreciate your participation.
Best,

Mark,
Mark, thank you so much. I've been reading these forums for a while now, and I have a lot of respect for all of you. I'm glad to be able to share.

the last of the product sheets
the marble tables were sold at Sloan's in New York in 1953- and maybe other places, but I have the Sloan's ads.
the walnut and brass has never been my favorite - except for the candle sticks - I have a pair of those, but of different sizes (one ten inch, one six inch) where the ones on the product sheet are uniform - the ones I have aren't all that well made - the join of the walnut and brass is off a little bit - maybe they were samples, or prototypes?

note holders
the note holders (dual and single) are really elegant, in person

Anyone ever heard of Arie Ilton?
Posting here has made me a more careful reader of my own files. The "Drama in Expanded Metal" newspaper clipping (no idea which newspaper or when) refers to a table "in which the frame rises above the inset glass shelf to form a handle ..." Doesn't that describe the table in the picture?

more mystery tables
mystery to me, because the only record I have is the photos (except that the glass and metal one appears in the Furniture Forum thing I posted earlier) - no advertising or anything that would indicate that they were produced and sold. And they don't look like the rest of the Designed for Moderns stuff. I like them all, even though/because they're strange.
oh, the round table I posted earlier is 20 inches in diameter, 22.5 high - says so on the back of the photo

as long as I'm posting tables
These seem much more conventional, although, again, the photos were with the Designed for Moderns stuff, and that's all I know.

wood & tile
the black and white is from my father's stash of photos - the color pix are of a trivet and a cakestand I own - I don't know how those tiles are stuck down, but they're sticking

more ..
I don't think that either the hurricane (comes with a glass chimney) or the tray show up on any of the things I've posted - the tray I actually bought on ebay or etsy, can't remember, but it's just like the one we had when I was a kid - there should be little rubber feet on the legs, but I'm having trouble finding the right size .
