Product Details

Product Description

This table was designed by Charlotte Perriand for La Chambre d'Étudiant at La Maison du Brésil, Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris and manufactured around 1950. Despite minor wear consistent with its age and use, the table remains in its original condition, showcasing a beautiful patina. One of its legs does have a slight twist. The Paris-born Charlotte Perriand attended the École de l'Union centrale des Arts décoratifs from 1920-1925. She gained considerable fame after exhibiting her furniture made of anodized aluminium and chromium-plated steel at the 1927 "Salon d'Automne" in Paris. Her collaboration with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, beginning in 1927 and ending in 1937, resulted in the revolutionary tubular steel furnishings and system furniture presented as "Équipement de l'habitation" (home equipment) at the 1929 "Salon d'Automne," which was widely acclaimed. The Union Des Artistes Modernes (UAM) was founded in Paris in 1930, with Perriand exhibiting solo there from 1931 onwards. In 1937, she collaborated with Pierre Jeanneret on designing a mountain chalet of sheet aluminium, showcased at the "Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne." Later, they contributed plans for prefab houses made of aluminium. From 1940 to 1946, Charlotte Perriand worked as a design consultant to the Japanese Board of Trade and lived in Japan. Her designs subsequently reflected a Japanese feeling for form, as evidenced by the 1953 "Synthèse des Arts" chair.
