Story
Perriand's dining-room stool
The sheet says Perriand designed the first version in 1927 for the dining room of her Paris atelier. It had a tubular metal structure and a woven rattan seat.
The current model
Cassina's present version has a trivalent chrome-plated steel structure and can be ordered with different coverings; the sheet names cowhide and the classic rattan. Cassina lists the stool inside the collection of work by the three designers.
