Charlotte Perriand Cansado Gray Table, circa 1950

pkversion — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 14:44:17 +0000

Table designed by Charlotte Perriand, circa 1950.

Wood, metal frame legs.

Provenance: Cansado, Mauritania (Africa).

In original condition, with wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina.

Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) she was born in Paris in 1903 and attended the E´cole de l’Union centrale des Arts de´coratifs from 1920-1925. Charlotte Perriand designed furniture made of anodized aluminium and chromium-plated steel, showing it at the 1927 “Salon d’Automne” in Paris.
After meeting Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand worked with him and Pierre Jeanneret until 1937. The revolutionary tubular steel furnishings and system furniture designed by the three were presented as “E´quipement de l’habitation” (home equipment) at the 1929 “Salon d’Automne,” where they were widely acclaimed.
In 1930 the Union Des Artistes Modernes (UAM) was founded in Paris, a group that viewed itself as a countermovement challenging such establishment organizations as the “Salon d’Automne” and also advocated Art Deco and Modernism. From 1931 Charlotte Perriand showed her own work solo there. In 1937 Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret collaborated on designing a mountain chalet of sheet aluminium, which they showed at the “Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne” and later they came up with plans for prefab houses made of aluminium.
In 1940 Charlotte Perriand became a design consultant to the Japanese Board of Trade. She lived in Japan until 1946 and from then on Charlotte Perriand’s designs reveal overtones of the Japanese feeling for form, as shown by the 1953 chair “Synthe`se des Arts.”.

Elegant Italian Desk Convertible into Sewing Machine

pkversion — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 14:42:30 +0000

Elegant Italian desk convertible into sewing machine from the 1950s. The desk through its shapes and lines is very reminiscent of Gio Ponti’s design line. The desk is made by the Vigorelli ( of Pavia) manufactory. The small desk has in the left side five pull-out drawers and the top one has a key. In the right leg we have a door that can be opened by knob with the sewing machine mechanism inside. At the base we find a cast-iron riser that allowed easy movement of the mechanism by foot pedals. The table top rises and through a mechanism retracts inside the desk allowing the sewing machine to be pulled out. Once the top is raised we find another storage compartment that allows the sewing machine to be pulled out. The sewing machine is still intact but the thread mechanism needs to be fixed because it is now worn.
Being transformable the desk is excellent both as a writing table but also as a piece of furniture for designer living rooms.

Italian Mid-Century Wooden and Glass Writing Desk

pkversion — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 14:41:14 +0000

Cute wooden writing desk of fine Italian manufacture from the 1950s.
The desk is made in the frame entirely of fine, light-coloured wood.
The legs supporting the structure are long, cylindrical in shape. The two rear ones are thicker, to support the weight of the structure; the front ones are thinner, a not inconsiderable touch of style!
Immediately above the legs we see a smooth top made of beautiful wood, which creates a very beautiful and useful compartment. Above this top we see a glass top, attached to the frame with two brass mechanisms in the original patina of the time, very beautiful.
The glass shelf at the back shows an elegant wooden panel painted with a mix pattern typical of the period. Very exuberant. Centrally on the wooden top there is a small, clearly visible drawer for storing documents or useful objects for writing.
The desk is suitable for exuberant study rooms.

pkversion — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 13:54:31 +0000

Beautiful Italian desk in maple wood attributed to the great designer Mario Oreglia made in the 1950s.
The desk is very unusual in shape, creating a very striking playful effect.
The legs supporting the desk are four in a classic rectangular shape; the legs are joined two by two in a maple wood structure that seems to create a painting easel-like structure. This is what you notice when you look at the legs, which narrow from wide as they get closer together.
Centrally we notice a massive structure, suitable for storing documents and desk utilities. We have two very useful side drawers. The entire central structure is made using the grissin technique.
We go further up to find a very beautiful and perfect sturdy glass top, framed by maple wood.
The desk is perfect as a mid-century piece of furniture, suitable for study areas.
