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
Who designed the Rio Coffee Table for Cassina?
The Rio Coffee Table was designed by Charlotte Perriand, the pioneering French architect and designer known for her collaborations with Le Corbusier and her deep engagement with craft, nature, and modernist form. Cassina produces it as part of its curated collection of her legacy works.
What materials are available for the Rio Coffee Table?
The Rio Coffee Table is available with a natural solid oak or black-stained oak frame. Top options include Viennese cane, Carrara marble, and Nero Marquina marble - each offering a distinct material character while remaining true to Perriand's design intent.
What is Viennese cane and why did Perriand use it?
Viennese cane is an open-weave rattan mesh traditionally used in European furniture. Perriand incorporated natural woven materials throughout her work as an expression of her belief that good design should draw from craft traditions and the textures of the natural world.
Is the Rio Coffee Table made to order?
Yes, the Rio Coffee Table is made to order, reflecting the level of craft and material specificity that Cassina applies to its production of heritage designs. Lead times vary by configuration and should be confirmed at the time of inquiry.
How does the Rio table fit within Charlotte Perriand's broader body of work?
The Rio Coffee Table belongs to a lineage of Perriand's furniture that bridges modernist structure with vernacular craft - a tension she explored throughout her career, particularly in her designs for mountain chalets and Japanese interiors. The piece exemplifies her ability to integrate organic materials into rigorous, architecturally scaled compositions.
