This is a Marble and Stainless Steel Side Table, Model TA-72, designed and produced in 1966 by Davis Allen and Gordon Bunshaft as part of SOM Design.

The table retains a foil tag that indicates it was utilized at the ABC corporate HQ, a notable piece of provenance fitting into the history of SOM's historic New York projects during the 1960s. A digital copy of the original drawing from 1966 will accompany the side table in the sale.
