The present table dates from the time when Breuer was first producing designs for Pritchards' 'Isokon' furniture company. Although more than one table of the same proportion is known to exist, it does not appear ever to have been produced in numbers by Isokon as a model for retail. According to family tradition, passed down from Jack Pritchard, Walter Gropius was involved in advising Breuer on some of the fewer points of the stabilizing construction of this table.
