Larger and smaller sizes
For the round version Artek writes that the larger sizes are ideally suited as dining tables in private homes and restaurants, pairing with dining chairs such as the Domus chair or Chair 61, while the smaller ones fit more compact dining spaces. A caption on the page adds that the round version matches a variety of chairs, and one picture is captioned Table 90B and Aslak Chair.
