LC12 La Roche Table
Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, known as Le Corbusier, designed his LC12 Table (1925) for Villa La Roche in Paris. The structure, which is a pair of semi-attached houses, was Corbusier’s third commission in Paris and today it houses the Foundation Le Corbusier. The house, which Corbu and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret designed for a Swiss banker and art collector, is a series of small spaces that explode into larger rooms and the experience culminates with a curved two-story gallery. It is an example of what Corbusier referred to as “new” architecture, which he described as “the clever, accurate and magnificent play of volumes assembled with light.” The LC12 Table reflects this, but in a simpler scale. The pedestal is of a minimal width for its vertical shape, and the tabletop has maximum width for its minimal horizontal dimension. The user-friendly size of the LC12 makes it easy to fit into any space for use as a desk or dining table. Fits up to four people comfortably. Each piece is signed and numbered and, as a product of Cassina’s Masters Collection, is manufactured by Cassina in Italy under exclusive worldwide license from the Le Corbusier Foundation.

He articulated provocative ideas, created revolutionary designs and demonstrated a strong, if utopian, sense of purpose — to meet the needs of a democratic society dominated by the machine.
Le Corbusier, like his father, began by learning the art of metal engraving. However, he was encouraged by a teacher to take up architecture and built his first house at the age...

Charlotte Perriand
Through luck, fate or simply the power of her own genius, Charlotte Perriand designed a roof-top bar for the Salon d'Automne which drew the attention of Le Corbusier. Upon seeing the anodized aluminum and chromed steel furniture that Perriand had designed for the bar, the famed Corbusier invited Perriand to join the Le Corbusier studio.
For the next ten years, Perriand participated in the designs issued from the Le Corbusier studio, including the first tubular steel designs for systematized...
