This stately American art deco occasional table was designed in 1934 by Wolfgang Hoffmann (1900 – 1969) for the Howell Company, St. Charles, Ill.  The table was lent to the 1994 show “At Home in the Thirties” at the Center for Contemporary Art in Miami and a 1996 show in Vienna on expatriate Austrian designers who worked in America.  With three bands of flat chromed steel crossed by a single band supporting a high gloss black lacquer top the table creates an elegant presence.  It measures 22” wide by 14” deep and 22” high.
