8 Tabouret tournant
Part of the Collection Le Corbusier®, Pierre Jeanneret®, Charlotte
Perriand®, the iconic tabouret swivel stool draws inspiration from the Fauteuil
tournant designed by Charlotte Perriand for her Paris apartment in Place
Saint-Sulpice and that was part of the furnishings exhibited at the Salon
d’Automne in 1929.
The iconic shape and versatility of the 8
Tabouret tournant, design reflects Charlotte Perriand’s desire to simplify mass
production by employing common elements. The structure in chrome-plated or
painted steel is tempered by the padded seat upholstered in leather or fabric.
The Tabouret tournant is also available in an
outdoor version with specific finishes designed for outdoor conditions.

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. |
