An organic mosaic at the heart of the living room

The Rio coffee table by Charlotte Perriand for Cassina, born in 1962, reinvents furniture with its segmented geometry. Charlotte Perriand, pioneer of functional design, created it for Jacques Martin’s house in Brazil. Its six Vienna straw wedges on a natural oak frame form a captivating irregular disc. The central hole creates a unique visual balance, inviting free composition. This high-end piece elevates any living space with timeless poetry.

Natural oak and authentic Vienna straw

The frame is made from solid oiled oak, with warm veins and a satin finish. The hand-woven Vienna straw inserts bring lightness and organic texture. Six discreet oak legs support the whole without weighing down the silhouette. These noble materials withstand time and daily use. The table measures 140 cm in diameter and 33 cm in height, ideal for a generous living room.

Versatile surface for shared moments

Place books, vases or trays on it without fear of marks. Its asymmetrical shape encourages conversation around a sofa. For example, align it with cushions for a cosy atmosphere. At 3,066 euros, it reflects Cassina’s artisanal excellence. It combines practicality and aesthetics in a simple gesture.

Fluid harmony in contemporary interiors

Integrate it with a cream-white L-shaped sofa as in this bright scene. The natural oak dialogues with beige, plant greens or black stools. It adapts to an urban loft or covered terrace. Its modular design avoids monotony and stimulates spatial creativity. The Rio coffee table by Charlotte Perriand for Cassina transcends eras.

Charlotte Perriand’s humanist vision

Perriand designed liberated furniture inspired by nature and Japanese craftsmanship. Cassina, reissuing Rio in 2015, perpetuates this quest for harmony between form and function. This table embodies the essence of modernism: accessible beauty, ecological durability and daily joy. A work that invites rethinking habitat.
