Cassina 20 Casiers Standard Cabinets
20 CASIERS STANDARD CABINETS
20 CASIERS STANDARD CABINETS
Designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand
With their timeless, unique features, these combinable modular cabinets are capable of architecturally organizing any room, holding any object and arranging themselves in any space, to create an authentic furnished wall.
Part of the model home project by Le Corbusier in 1925 for the Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau, the Casiers Standard mark the turning point of moving beyond the traditional concept of furnishings.
Cassina revisits these design containers with a contemporary approach that enhances the quality of the object, accenting its characteristics of versatility and functionality.
DESIGNER
CORBUSIER, PIERRE JEANNERET, CHARLOTTE PERRIAND
Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, known as Le Corbusier, was born at La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the Swiss Jura, in 1887; he died in France, at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, on the French Côte d’Azur, in 1965.
Early in his career his work met with some resistance owing to its alleged «revolutionary» nature and the radical look it acquired from its «purist» experiments; in time , however, it won the recognition it deserved and it is still widely admired.
His message is still being assimilated by an ever increasing number of people in the profession, but his far-out avant-garde attitudes should be interpreted with due consideration for the use of rational systems in his planning method, evidenced by extremely simple modules and formes based on the functional logic.
