Cassina RIO Round coffee table

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.‎ Top · White Carrara marble or black Marquiña marble.‎ Low gloss finishing.‎ · Solid Oak wood frame transparent matt finishing with hand-woven Rattan mesh cane.‎ Base · Base and structure in solid oak wood.‎ Natural matt finishing.‎ · Outer contour in solid oak wood steam bending.‎ Natural matt finishing.‎ · Feet in adhesive felt pads.‎ Further info from manufacturer on RIO Cassina
