Designed fovr a need
When Joseph D’Urso can’t find the furniture he needs for an interior design project, he designs it himself. In 1980 he needed a large-scale coffee table for a client’s New York City loft, but everything on the market was made for small seating arrangements. In addition, he wanted a table on wheels so his client could reconfigure the space as needed. The D’Urso Occasional Table began as one table for one client, but its mix of mobility and scale caught the eye of the Knoll design director, who collaborated with D’Urso to make it part of the portfolio.
Joseph D'Urso
Joseph Paul D’Urso, who studied design at Pratt Institute, Royal College of Art in London and Manchester College of Art, is widely acknowledged as a leader of the high-tech design movement of the 1970s. While helping to define minimalist principles for living, he expanded design vocabulary with new materials and graphic, streamlined forms.
