Three-Round Table

Designer

First designed by Charlotte Perriand in the 1930s, ‘tables en forme’ became popular in the 1950s as kidney-shaped tables. Next to the free forms featured in almost all famous examples, Max Bill’s Three-round Table, designed around 1949/50, appears almost strict and precise. Its geometric shape is constructed from three circles. Conceived in a low and high version, the Dreirundtisch marks a high point in Max Bill’s campaign for design reform.
