Rio Coffee Table
Made by Cassina
Designed by Charlotte Perriand
Charlotte Perriand conceived the Rio Coffee Table as a meditation on the natural world. Solid oak and woven Viennese cane are brought into quiet, purposeful composition, each material chosen for its honesty rather than its ornament. The open weave of the cane introduces texture and light in equal measure, softening the geometry of the oak frame without diminishing its rigor.
The design reflects the sensibility of Perriand's alpine retreats, spaces where craft and nature coexisted with clarity and purpose. Produced by Cassina as part of its enduring stewardship of her archive, the Rio table carries that same restraint into the contemporary interior.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are available for the Rio Coffee Table top?
The top is offered in woven Viennese cane, Carrara marble, or Nero Marquina marble. Each option shifts the character of the piece, from the warmth and texture of cane to the cooler, more monumental presence of marble.
Who designed the Rio Coffee Table and what is its origin?
The Rio Coffee Table was designed by Charlotte Perriand, the French architect and designer whose work redefined the relationship between furniture, craft, and the natural environment throughout the twentieth century. Cassina produces the piece under license as part of its Charlotte Perriand collection.
How long does the Rio Coffee Table take to deliver?
The Rio Coffee Table is made to order, meaning production begins at the time of purchase. Lead times vary; consulting with a design professional at the point of sale is recommended for project planning.
Is the Rio Coffee Table part of a larger Perriand collection by Cassina?
Yes. Cassina holds an exclusive license to reproduce a significant body of Charlotte Perriand's furniture designs, working in close collaboration with her foundation to maintain the integrity of her original specifications and material choices.
How does the Rio table fit within Charlotte Perriand's broader design philosophy?
Perriand consistently drew on natural materials and organic form as counterpoints to modernist geometry. The Rio table reflects her alpine period, during which she developed a vocabulary rooted in wood, cane, and stone as expressions of place and craft rather than industrial production.
