The low table by charlotte perriand is composed of six segments of different radius, arranged in a circle but offset from one another to create an uneven outer border in solid wood with a hole in the center, envisioned as a spatial center of gravity. Thanks to cassina’s outstanding artisan skills, the model from 1962 has been reissued in its original form, alternating the use of oak with inserts in viennese cane, with versions in stained or natural wood with elements in white or black marble. Top solid oak frame with transparent matt finish with hand-woven rattan mesh. Base solid oak with transparent matt finish. Edge outer edge in solid steam bent oak. Currently available in just one size, the rio low table was originally created by charlotte perriand as two. Between 1962, the year she designed the piece and 1967, charlotte perriand made a larger version intended for the japanese embassy in paris. The unusual beauty of the rio table, matched by its functionality make it a veritable work of art. The six segments, made in solid wood, each with a different radius, offset from each other, create a jagged outer edge, while the hole in the centre evokes a centre of gravity. Cassina re-issued the original version in 1962, reproducing the original lines, thanks also to the extraordinary crafts skills of the artisans of meda, a town in the brianza area north of milan.
