Story
The art of living
The page sums the table up as Perriand's take on l'art de vivre, with a shape and use unlike any other table.
Dining or office
The sheet says the width chosen for the central part decides how many guests it seats, five to nine, and that several people can sit round its asymmetrical top as a desk.
