About the Item

The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum refers to William as the American Minimalist. Perhaps no other design of his exemplifies Minimalism and Modernism more than his iconic 'hal' pedestal, designed in 2000 and singularly responsible for ushering the faceted craze into contemporary American and European design. With a large glass round, this table is perfect to anchor a beautiful dining room. Choose from the Teak shown, or one of William's other suggested finishes. If none are quite perfect, William is delighted to help you choose from more than a hundred others. The glass top is 63" round and 1/2" thick, and is included in this listing. About William Earle Producer Joel Silver ( Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, The Matrix ) purchased William's first functional design - a case comprised of four separate hexagonal volumes, and immediately shipped it to his South Carolina home, the Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece 'Auldbrass', for installation. William's 'hal' , designed in 2000, singularly ignited the faceted craze in contemporary design, and continues to be one of the most popular tables in history. William was selected to represent Surface magazine at the Salone del Mobile Milano 2004. In 2006, Ellen Lupton, the curator of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, when asked by Metropolis magazine to compare American and European designers, said that William Earle was more like a European and stood out as the American Minimalist. In 2008 his 'Nude Descending Table' was commissioned by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and sold through the museum store. William's New York gallery commissioned his 'Woodcutter's Chaise' for the 2012 International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York City, where it won a Best Design of the Year award from Interior Design magazine. William's work has been published in every design magazine on both sides of the Atlantic, and his work is currently featured as part of the architecture and design program of many major design colleges, including Pratt and the Rhode Island School of Design. At 63, he continues to eschew the opportunities to be mass produced by foreign factories, and hand crafts all of his designs in his South Carolina studio.
