Just wondering if anyone out there has a Knoll Girard coffee table? Would like some pointers for authentication. Thanks.

New or vintage?
While I would expect newly produced examples to be marked, vintage examples are exceedingly rare.
If it's clearly vintage and looks right I would think it very likely authentic. It would be way too obscure a design to have been knocked off back in the day.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not certain of the age, but the table in question does look to be more recent to me, and it is not marked.
Also, if anyone can link me to example(s) of reproductions, I would appreciate that as well. I have not seen any myself.
Thanks.

Knoll Girard coffee table? ...
Knoll Girard coffee table? never heard of a knoll Girard coffee table. I thought he was with Herman Miller all those years. Does not make sense to me.

His convertible Herman Miller table has always been one of my favorites.
If I could find one with both tops (circular and rectangular) that didn't need to be shipped here from Chicago, I'd buy it in a second.
