Story
A larger version for Paris
Page and sheet say Perriand designed the Rio low table in 1962, originally in two sizes, and between 1962 and 1967 made a larger version for the Japanese embassy in Paris.
Six segments
The six solid wood segments, each of a different radius and offset from the others, give a jagged outer edge, and the hole in the centre evokes a centre of gravity.
