11 Table pieds corolle, Appartement Le Corbusier
- Description
- Designer Bio
Its sculptural impression makes this iconic
piece of furniture extremely fine and versatile; as appropriate in classic
decor settings as in new contemporary spaces.
Two versions of the rectangular 11-P Table Pied
Corolle were designed by Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret.
The first, designed in 1934 for the Paris apartment of Le Corbusier, had a
marble top, while the second, produced in 1935 for the House for a Young Man at
the Universal Expo in Brussels, had a slate top.
The table’s elegant, eye-catching style is
determined by the gray cast iron pedestal base with firmly planted broad yet
slender circular feet. The massive table top in natural solid walnut sits
securely on the support structure.

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. |
