“TWA” table by James Butchart

USA, c 1973

A Polished aluminum table by James Butchart for Trans World Airlines, c 1973.  A glass top rests on an abstract base that leans forward and contains one moderately sized drawer on the left side.  Butchart designed this one-of-a-kind table specifically for an office in Trans World Airlines in New York; it was made from the same material, in the same UK factory where the nose-cones for the Concorde were made.  This desk is the only one in existence and plans and drawings of the desk still exist.  He designed the office rooms and the furniture for the Airlines and was also in movie and television production designing furniture for several movies, including “Return of the Pink Panther” and “Superman”.
