Story
From her Montparnasse atelier
The page and the sheet's English and French text say Perriand started work on the tables en forme libre in 1938 for her own atelier in the Montparnasse area, and that they went into production with the Galerie Steph Simon at the end of the 1950s. The sheet's Italian and German columns give 1928 for the start of the series.
Re-issued in 2011
For the 2011 re-issue Cassina reduced the size of the legs, leaving more space and allowing guests to sit closer to each other.
