This conference set was designed in the 1970s by Marc Held for the office interiors of IBM. It represents a distinctive example of corporate furniture design from the period, combining functionality, ergonomic considerations, and a clear architectural approach suited to professional environments.
The set consists of a conference table and six matching chairs. The table features a double central base with black steel legs and veneered wooden columns, supporting a white laminate top that reinforces the technical and minimalist character of the design. The chairs are formed with shaped wooden seats and backrests displaying pronounced wood grain, combined with steel reinforcement elements characteristic of Marc Held’s structural approach.
The set is preserved in original vintage condition. All components remain structurally sound and visually cohesive, making the ensemble suitable for continued use in a study, meeting room, studio, or creative workspace. Complete sets from this series are rarely encountered.
