## Summary

Ebony wood side table featuring a distinctive freeform organic top and three tapered legs, inspired by 1940s abstract art.

## Description

Reintroduced from the Herman Miller archives, the Paldao Side Table (1941) combines exceptional craftsmanship with avant-garde artistry. In shaping its freeform lines from solid burl wood, Gilbert Rohde’s design was inspired by the 1940s abstract art movement yet grounded in human needs. “The most interesting thing in the home is the people who live there and I’m designing for them,” he stated. Over 80 years later, Paldao’s captivating curves continue to bring character and utility to living, working, and dreaming spaces. Made in Poland.
