Mexique walnut coffee table by Charlotte Perriand for Cassina 2015

The original design from the Mexique table dates back to 1938, part of the “free form” movement proposals. The final design was developed in 1952 for the students’ rooms of the Maison du Mexique at the Cité Universitaire Internationale in Paris by Charlotte Perriand. In 1952, the wooden legs were replaced by triangular-section bent metal. In 1956, the Mexique table was released by the well-known Steph Simons design house. It was reissued by Cassina in 2015 under original label. The table design has a characterizing triangle design, with a slightly curved edge, black painted metal feet and consists of one solid walnut slab measuring 2 cm thickness. The table is in good condition with some wear on top visible.
