Story
A new iteration
The page says Riflesso has been in the Cassina collection since 2004 and was created in 1958 by Perriand in association with Steph Simon. The original came in one size and two heights, only in black; the new version is larger and available in mahogany with sliding doors in natural or black anodised aluminium.
Japanese influence
The page ties the rounded edges of the wooden shelves to the Japanese influence found in Perriand's work.
