While the form is generally credited to Parsons The New School for Design in New York City, it may reflect the influence of Mies van der Rohe and the school of Modernism. Tables of this style have been widely copied and are manufactured in a broad range of quality and finishes.
Parsons tables are often intended for use as modern or contemporary furniture, and their striking design has made them popular as coffee tables, dining tables, side tables, and occasional tables. Less-expensive versions are also available that can be easily stacked or disassembled and reassembled. Most are typically made of wood, metal, or plastic, and they are frequently employed in interior furnishings as well as patio or even lawn furniture.
