The design captures the sculptural, essential quality of Perriand’s alpine work, with a thick circular top set on four robust cylindrical legs. This example features the sought-after rim variant, where a bullnose gallery edge incorporates an inner recessed channel, adding both visual rhythm and subtle functionality. Perriand, a pivotal figure in 20th-century design, challenged conventions with her innovative approach, seamlessly blending industrial influences, Japanese aesthetics, and a deep connection to nature. Her work reflects a harmonious fusion of Bauhaus principles and organic craftsmanship, evident in this table’s minimalist structure and warm, natural patina. The table presents a warm, tactile surface with a rich patina, showing natural variations in tone and signs of age that enhance its authenticity. Light marks, small nicks, and wear are consistent with vintage use. Underside hardware remains intact. Recently refreshed with a traditional finish, stable and ready to place. See less
