Designing space
A design piece that is not just furniture but a new, true architectural element, intended to lend rhythm to space and the unexpected lightness of the cloud from which it takes its name.
1952/1956
Nuage à Plots by Charlotte Perriand belongs to a select group of furnishings that are archetypal in the way of interpreting space. Inspired, like the original Nuage, by a series of floating shelves mounted on the walls of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, the bookcase is a rhythmic system of shelves and vertical elements (aluminum plots) connected and held together with tensioning rods and fixing anchors to form a modular piece of furniture. Two features differentiate this model from the original ‒ the single 33.5cm depth of the top, and the plots, left exposed without adding sliding doors and crafted of a single piece of curved aluminum that replace the classic sides and back, serving as vertical elements to separate the shelves. A system based on alternating negative and positive spaces, of wood and aluminum, of hot and cold. A versatile piece, with feet or wall-mounted, a source of inspiration for generations of designers.
This wall-mounted bookcase or free-standing model in wood and aluminum signed by Charlotte Perriand is the archetype of contemporary bookcases, inspired, like the original, by a series of floating shelves the author admired at the Imperial Palace in Kyoto.
The bookcase has a modular structure produced by a system of shelves and vertical aluminum elements (the plots) connected to each other and held together by holes and tensioning rods that highlight its versatility, both in the free-standing version and the wall-mounted bookcase version.
