Story
A low version for Galerie Steph Simon
The sheet says a low version was made in 1956 for the Paris gallery of Steph Simon, after the wooden legs of the table had been replaced in 1952.
Grouped arrangements
The page says the low tables occupy as little space as possible and can be grouped with several of their kind; on the sheet, the different leg lengths are what allows free-form groupings.
