Bruce Burdick Group Oval Conference Table by Herman Miller
A unique, central aluminum beam gives this table by Bruce Burdick its striking profile. This all black Burdick Group conference/dining table was produced by Herman Miller. The oval table has a
rectangular glass center surface with glass half-round surfaces on each end, resting on a central beam. Beam top surface, end caps, glides, and hook-and-loop fasteners are black.
Each of the three glass pieces are in excellent condition with no chips and only the most minimal, superficial surface scratches. Each piece has a polished bullnosed edge and radiused corners.
Each piece of end glass is 24” W x 36” D x ¾” thickness. The center (rectangular) piece is 60” W x 36” D x ¾” thickness. One set of legs has some chipping to the finish as pictured. Otherwise, it
is generally in very good condition. A very attractive, somewhat futuristic postmodern design. Add your preferred chairs to move it in any direction- modern or vintage.
