Charlotte Perriand, free-form table, Les Arcs, around 1986

Free-form table designed by Charlotte Perriand for the Aiguille Grive residence in Les Arcs 1800 in the 1980s. Its asymmetrical top made of laminated solid pine rests on two black lacquered metal bases, known as "Canard, " whose silhouette contributes to the overall lightness. Designed to complement the interior architecture of the resort, this table combines organic shapes with a simple and functional construction, characteristic of Charlotte Perriand's later alpine works.
