Side table
Designer John Dickinson American
Not on view
The work of this San Francisco-based designer and decorator incorporates striking originality and wit. The galvanized tin surfaces of this table are molded to simulate the supple draping of fabric, despite being rendered in a rigid material (inspiration came from a tapestry-covered table in the designer's apartment). With its decorative effect and unlikely juxtaposition of material and form, Dickinson's work predates and foreshadows similar experiments in post-modernist design.
