For furniture, we've made contact with Marnie Moyle, an amazing outdoor table designer who I'm very excited about (and flattered that she likes what we're doing) … but her beautiful tables are designed for outdoors and I'm not sure the the chairs she has with them work inside.
She also has a two-tier kidney-shaped glass side table (designer unknown) that she bought from a friend in New Zealand for $150, and a fake Saarinen table and four chairs, for which she paid $300 at the 26th Street flea market in Manhattan 10 years ago.

A few blocks north, at Suite New York, they found tables by the Danish designer Poul Kjaerholm: the PK71 nesting tables, designed in 1957, which have spindly brushed stainless steel frames, and the larger PK63 coffee table, designed in 1968, which particularly impressed them with its flint-rolled marble top.

After Carter had the idea of placing a subtle pentagram on the reunion table, production designer Graeme Murray decided to take this further by creating rooms with five sides, and having the plastic surgery unit with five operating rooms represent an imaginary pentagram.
Spread among three tables, the designer's adoring clientele included Nan Kempner, Nina Griscom, Blaine Trump, Missy Bancroft, Lynn Nesbit, Judy Peabody, Louise Grunwald, Casey Ribicoff, Mica Ertegun, Carolyne Roehm and Ellin Saltzman.
