full round table
With elegant proportions and refined materials, the Full Round Table offers versatility and style. Named for its one-and-one-quarter-inch tubular metal frame, these rectangular and square tables pair perfectly with other Bennett designs, like the Scissor chair, that share the same scale detailing. The wide range of finish options and timeless aesthetic enable the Full Round Table to complement a variety of interiors and serve multiple applications.
Ward Bennett's story is a remarkable one. His career began at age 13, when he quit school to work in the garment district in New York City. At 15, he designed his first clothing collection; at 16 he left for Europe, where he continued working on fashions. Simplicity and comfort were always his goals. Bennett designed more than 150 chairs, many of which have become classics. He is considered the first American to use industrial materials for home furnishings, well before the high-tech look of the 1970s became popular. He was hailed by the American Institute of Architects for "transforming industrial hardware into sublime objects." Many of Bennett's designs are in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection as well as in the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum; he is also in Interior Design magazine's Hall of Fame.
