With the goal of creating pieces of high-design that differed from contemporaries such as Knoll and Herman Miller, Irving & Leon Rosen founded the Pace Collection in 1960. They looked to the simplicity of materials to be the voice of their collection, all expertly fabricated and finished. Polished metals and high gloss exotic veneers were commonplace and to this day remain unapologetically Pace.

A prime example from the Pace Collection is this exquisitely executed Cocktail Table. The design is almost magical as the glass appears to simply float, only secured by one brass column of support. It’s difficult to believe the 3/4” thick bullnose edge glass can be cantilevered to this extent, a testament to the design ability of Pace. The piece comes together with just one substantial threaded fastener under the solid brass disc which sits atop the glass. The assemblage of glistening glass, polished brass, and simple geometry create a piece of home décor akin to fine jewelry.

This table retains its original glass, while some minor wear exists, it is in very good condition with no chips whatsoever. The base has been completely restored with a new polished brass plated finish. The result is a near-new condition piece of vintage Pace Collection design. This table can be used in a multitude of environments as it is generously proportioned yet visually subtle.
