Story
Paulin design
Pierre Paulin designed the Élysée table in 1971 for the dining room of the Élysée Palace. The two-surface version translates that origin into a small occasional table with a circular footprint.
Monochrome detail
The bevelled tops and formed aluminium link are treated as one colour family. The designer's monogram is placed beneath the upper top, keeping the signature detail discreet.
