Roger Le Bihan was the owner of Le Bihan, a contemporary furniture store located in Paris in a former four-story cinema in the Bastille district. The store opened in 1957 and displayed furniture for the home and office, lighting, and textiles. It also had a space for temporary art exhibitions. Le Bihan eventually had four stores in the area. The original location (rue du Faubourg St Antoine) is now occupied by Ligne Roset, which was one of the brands distributed at Le Bihan.

This table was also manufactured in a round shape.
