A little research turned up a 1956 Drexel ad for the line, so apparently it predates his Profile line for the same company.
I was completely smitten by this small dresser/chest when I found it on eBay.

...but not so much by this one, which seems a bit too traditional. If Van Koert had added the wing-like extensions to the large dresser, I would have loved it too.

I was surprised to see that Van Koert made only a few changes to the Counterpoint dining table and chairs and called it Profile in a later incarnation.

See how similar it is to the later Profile dining set? He did refine the design somewhat and make the dowels in the seat back much smaller.

Personally, I prefer the pulls on the Profile set. Their shape seems more modern and has more visual appeal to me.

One final interesting find was a photo of a Counterpoint dresser in white, with an acid washed mirrored top. Although I know that Van Koert sometimes used interesting materials for the tops of his pieces, I thought at first that this might be a custom finish, but I eventually found another example from a different seller.
