Item Description

Envisioned in Tokyo in 1953 by Charlotte Perriand and still remarkably relevant today, this modular piece can be used as a low coffee table, bench, or – with cushions – as a sofa. The design prioritized functionality, leading the designer to simplify shapes, drawing her inspiration from the orient. Set at an ideal height for a variety of tasks, the horizontal plane is composed of 19 parallel strips of natural oak, supported by three legs. The padded seats are integrated harmoniously using a simple anchoring device, so they can be located wherever required. Ideal for the living room or other areas where people can unwind, this piece lends itself to a variety of configurations to enhance relaxation and conversation. The cushions are upholstered in 2 beautiful different fabrics, the fabric samples are still present with the piece. This piece was only used in a gallery setting and is still in an immaculate all original condition.
