Polymath designer Alvin Lustig created buildings, furniture, textiles, and graphics in his short but prolific career. He constantly exhorted his peers and students to design in all media and not be hindered by disciplinary boundaries. This table, which closely resembles one that graced his Sunset Boulevard office, comes from a West Hollywood bungalow for which he designed the furniture, lighting, and built-ins.
