Designed by I Maestri

DESIGNER
I MAESTRI
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.
Designed by Charlotte Perriand in 1938, when she created the office furniture for Jean-Richard Bloch, intellectual, writer, co-director of the Ce Soir newspaper and founder of the French Supervisory Board for antifascist writers. The desk owes its name to its unusual boomerang shape, introduced by Perriand, that has no sharp corners.
It seats about 10 people without anyone occupying a central position, thus putting an end to the "presidential" office archetype. Working closely with Pernette Perriand-Barsac, Cassina re-edits this desk with exquisite new finishes: oak-stained ash, ash stained black, or canaletto walnut with natural finish. The sumptuous, impressively thick wood top, focal point of the piece, can be clad entirely in saddle-hide or with an optional desk mat.
The solid wood legs feature harmonious, organic lines, a recurring trait in the works of Perriand.An updated version equipped with integrated electrification, can be combined with the file cabinet from the 10 Bureau de la Semaine à Paris by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand, adapted in 1930 by Charlotte Perriand
