Vintage 1966 Richard Schultz Outdoor Square Dining Table for Knoll. Executed in white enameled metal with an attractive vintage patina. Unmarked.
In the late 1950s, Richard Schultz received an envelope filled with rusted bolts from Florence Knoll, who was spending time at her Florida home. She tasked Schultz with the job of designing elegant outdoor furniture that could withstand corrosive sea air, season after season. Introduced in March 1966, the Leisure Collection, now called the 1966 Collection, was described by Schultz as “a breath of fresh air” for modernists.
This clean and iconic outdoor design has been in continual production since then due to its incomparable durability, comfort and refinement. Vintage pieces such as this one are increasingly rare and valued, especially when sourced in good condition.
Some age appropriate losses, scuffs, chips, dings, marks, soiling, rust, fading and wear as largely shown in the listing images and noted only for accuracy. Please note that as the table is currently in use in our private collection, additional signs of wear may present themselves. Additional photos available upon request.
