- Description
- Designer Bio
Expression of the lengthy research conducted by
Cassina on the masterpieces of the great masters, the Table tube d’avion design
table is one of the first studio models introduced by Le Corbusier, Pierre
Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand at the Salon D’Automne in Paris in 1929.
The uniqueness of this made in Italy piece lies
in the distinction between the support piece and the piece being supported, in
other words, between the top and the base; the latter designed with reference
to the oval profiles used in the aeronautical sector to separate the wings of
biplanes.
The current version of the iconic rectangular
table has a steel base painted in the Le Corbusier palette of colors, while the
top comes in glass, textured or tinted thermoformed glass, wood or in luxurious
white Carrara or black Marquina marble.

Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand |
In 1922, Le Corbusier began working in the new rue de
Sèvres, Paris, atelier with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret with whom he shared
research projects and design criteria in a profound and life-long professional
relationship. In October 1927, the pair decided to draw on the
contribution of a young architect who had already begun to establish a
reputation on the architectural scene of the time: Charlotte Perriand. Their collaboration lasted through to 1937 and was
extremely fruitful, especially in the field of furniture design. The
partnership was highly significant, both in terms of the cultural weight of
their achievements and their professional successes. It was together with Charlotte Perriand that the pair
tackled the innovative project for “l’équipement d'intérieur de
l’habitation”. The resulting designs were of great intellectual value
and considerable commercial success. Thanks to Cassina’s ongoing production, there is
continued interest in the conceptual contents of the work and the level of
quality attained.
Due to these characteristics, each item in the
collection is eagerly awaited. |
