I have had this table awhile and finally found a picture
of it in the Knoll Design Book by Larrabee and Vignelli.
It is show in a pic on page 133 at the residence of Dr. Detlev Bronk 1957. Can anyone postively ID it as Knoll?

It sure looks like the
Florence Knoll table on the upper right hand corner of page 212 of the giant Knoll book from Schiffer.
Although the photographs are not marked (a stupid decision, in my opinion), I think it's
561 Coffee Table
designed c. 1954. Rectangular wooden top onm four straight wooden legs joined by an h-shaped stretcher.
42" w, 24" d., 16" h.
Is that it?

No number
There wasn't a number but what looked like a missing
Knoll paper label. I have the smaller Schieffer Book
Knoll 1938-1960 but it was not in there. I guess they made
the book you referenced more definetive. Thanks again.
