PRODUCT DETAILS

Manufacturer's Product Description

Designed by Gilbert Rohde

Organic modernism

The Rohde Paldao Table features designer Gilbert Rohde's signature curvy freeform shape, which found a place in everything from Herman Miller's first showroom design to mural graphics. Influenced by the abstract art movement and organic shapes, this side and coffee table were downright revolutionary in the 1940s. As the company's first design director, he helped set Herman Miller on its modernist course–and set the standard for human-centered design. Paldao is being reintroduced for the first time in over 80 years.
