MEXIQUE TABLES (Request Info)

ORGANIC SHAPES IN SPACE

At the heart of the design for this wood dining table by Charlotte Perriand lies the concept of creating compact free-forms that, when placed together, form larger, symmetrical arrangements.

Included among the en forme libre tables developed between 1938 and 1939, the final project was conceived in 1952 for the student rooms of the Maison du Mexique at the Cité Universitaire Internationale in Paris. The structure designed to take up as little space as possible provided for the possibility of placing several pieces side by side to create compositions with a wider and more regular shape. In 1952 the author replaced the wooden legs with triangular section legs in folded sheet metal. In 1956 a low version was made for the Galerie Steph Simon in Paris. The high thickness of the wooden top, available both in solid wood and in glossy or matt lacquer, conveys remarkable beauty, while the edges reveal a profile that is functional to the shape and size of the hand. In 2018, two new dining variants are added that allow you to accommodate 5 or 6 diners. New finishes have also been introduced which further increase the combinability and functionality of the tables.

Included among the “free-form” furnishings developed by the author between 1938 and 1939, the Mexique table was conceptualized and crafted in 1952 for the students’ rooms at the Maison du Mexique at the Cité Internationale Universitaire in Paris.

Available in two shapes and several sizes, with top in solid wood or in a lacquered version, the Mexique dining table expresses the integrity of a big personality. Completing the collection is a high bar table, a series of side tables for the living room and a compact design desk.
