Designed in 1928, the ‘en forme libre’ or free-form collection was originally intended for use in Charlotte Perriand’s Montparnasse studio, the unfettered curves of the tables inspiring creativity and providing numerous ways to interact with the table.
Unbounded by traditional design conventions, Perriand has created a design with no sharp corners and beautifully rounded legs, the table is the perfect centrepiece for any dining or living space.
One of the most influential furniture designers of the early modern movement, Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) introduced the 'machine age' aesthetic to interiors in the steel, aluminium and glass furniture she created at Le Corbusier's architectural studio in the late 1920s and 1930s.
Perriand also forged friendships with the gifted young architects and designers from all over the world who, like her, had jumped at the chance to work for Le Corbusier as an unpaid or, if they were very lucky, poorly paid assistant. Together with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, Perriand developed a series of tubular steel chairs, which were then (and are still today) hailed as icons of the machine age.
