About the Item

Space Age cylindrical drum / canister cocktail table, made of chrome spun brushed aluminum base, original smoked mirrored glass top. This table has a very unique provenance from the estate and former corporate office of Rodger Nolting, McDonnell - Douglass engineer to the Gemini Space Program. No doubt this table reminded him of the space program he helped develop. The table is designed by Venice, California-based architect, Gary John Neville (G.J. Neville) and produced in the 1960s-1970s. The top of this table lifts off the base to reveal open space that can be used for interior storage, such as blankets, pillows, etc. Retains the original black vinyl sea between sections. Often when corporate executive retire they take home furniture from their office. Rodger, also had a Knoll round tulip table, set of 4 Pollock chairs, and marble top Steelcase round table, all from McDonnell - Douglass in his otherwise traditional decorated home. The McDonnell - Douglass MCM campus was designed by local famed modernist architect Harris Armstrong in 1955. Own a piece of space age furniture, that was in the McDonnell- Douglass office of a Gemini space engineer. The Gemini program was a NASA spaceflight program from 1961 to 1966 that served as a bridge between the Project Mercury and the Apollo program. Its main objectives were to test equipment and procedures for lunar missions by performing long-duration flights, orbital rendezvous, and docking, and mastering reentry. Key achievements included the first American spacewalk, the first orbital rendezvous of two manned spacecraft, and extended missions to assess the effects of weightlessness on astronauts. The table effortlessly pairs with the likes of Milo Baughman, Pierre Paulin, Eames and Pierre Cardin.
