Console Table by Charlotte Perriand, France, 1950s
-
Description
This rare wooden console table was designed by Charlotte Perriand for a private residence in Méribel Les Allues, France. Characterised by its sculptural simplicity, the piece features a long, gently contoured top supported by a single cylindrical leg and discreet wall brackets. The warm patina of the wood highlights its honest construction and alpine modernist spirit. Designed as a functional yet architectural element, it works equally well as a console, desk, or display surface.
Charlotte Perriand (1903–1999) was a pioneering French designer and architect, and a key figure in 20th-century modern design. She collaborated closely with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret before developing a more organic, human-centred approach rooted in nature and craftsmanship. Perriand’s later work, particularly in the French Alps, reflects her deep respect for vernacular architecture and natural materials. Her designs remain highly influential and collectible for their balance of modernism, warmth, and functionality. -
