Le Corbusier glass dining table TaLe Corbusier Glass dining table 'LC6ble 'LC6' for Cassina, Italy 1970

The idea of the LC6 table, launched at the Salon d'Automne in Paris in 1929, lies in the distinction between the support and what is supported, that is to say the base and the top. The separation of the two parts is underlined by the four intermediate structures. These both regulate the height and serve to maintain the necessary distance between the heavy base and the delicate lines of the table top. The base was designed in 1928, taking inspiration from the oval profiles used in aeronautical design to maintain the distance between the wings of biplanes. This table features a black painted steel base and a textured glass top. The glass top has a small crack, which you can see, but you can't feel it. The painting is originally signed. Beautiful peace of mid century modern design.
