Organic Modernism Reborn by Gilbert Rohde’s Avant-Garde 1940s Design, Now Available at WorkArena
The Rohde Paldao Table, a true masterpiece of mid-20th century design, has been reintroduced to the world after an 80-year hiatus. Created by the visionary Gilbert Rohde in the early 1940s, this table represents a pivotal moment in modernist furniture design. As Herman Miller’s first design director, Rohde revolutionized the company’s aesthetic direction, championing human-centered design principles that continue to resonate today.
The Rohde Paldao Table embodies the essence of organic modernism, featuring a striking freeform shape that was revolutionary for its time. Influenced by the abstract art movement and biomorphic forms, Rohde created a table that is both a functional piece of furniture and a sculptural work of art. The table’s fluid lines and asymmetrical silhouette challenge traditional design norms, making it a captivating focal point in any space. This groundbreaking design found its way into Herman Miller’s first showroom and even inspired mural graphics, cementing its status as an icon of mid-century modern aesthetics.
