10 Bureau La Semaine à Paris

Country of Origin: Italy

The editorial offices of the weekly Parisian magazine La Semaine à Paris were realized as part of a collective project by a group of prominent figures in the Modern Movement, mainly from the Union des Artistes Modernes (UAM) founded in 1929. For the administrator’s office, the Table dalle polie table by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, presented at the Salon d’Automne in 1929, underwent a series of adaptations. Charlotte Perriand added a metal file cabinet on the side and enlarged the projecting sheet of glass, carving out a small space to hold pencils and pens. Cassina has re-issued this desk, in collaboration with the Fondation Le Corbusier, Pernette Perriand-Barsac and the heirs of Pierre Jeanneret, with the utmost respect for authenticity, optimising the design to meet the needs of today’s offices. The desk maintains its thick glass top, with the painted structure underneath, and the characteristic integrated pencil holder, found on the original model. Inside the metal file cabinet, which supports part of the weight of the tabletop, there is a technical compartment that can provide integrated electrification and an easily accessible USB (A+C) socket on the side. Wiring is inserted through a low cable pocket access and exits from the external side of the file cabinet.
