Wall-Mounted Console Table by Charlotte Perriand, France, 1950s
-
Description
Designed by Charlotte Perriand, this distinctive wall-mounted wooden table is conceived as a compact architectural element, intended to integrate seamlessly into the corner of a room. Its elongated, asymmetrical top is carefully shaped to follow the geometry of the walls, creating a floating surface that feels both purposeful and sculptural. The solid wood construction reveals a rich, warm patina, with visible grain and joints that emphasise the material’s natural character and craftsmanship. The table can function as a console, writing desk, or display surface, offering versatility within a minimal footprint.
Charlotte Perriand (1903–1999) was a pioneering French designer and architect, and a key figure in 20th-century modern design. After collaborating closely with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, she developed a more organic, human-centred approach rooted in nature and craftsmanship. Her later work, particularly in the French Alps, reflects a deep respect for vernacular architecture and natural materials. Perriand’s designs remain highly influential and collectible for their rare balance of modernism, warmth, and functionality. -
