As with many works in the architectural complex designed by le corbusier in 1951 – currently included among the unesco world heritage sites –this rectangular table also points to the essential role that pierre jeanneret played in the design of the interior furnishings, along with le corbusier and charlotte perriand. The capitol complex table reflects the author’s deep ties with the area and his resulting preference for designing minimalist shapes made with simple materials. Hence, a table made entirely in solid wood with a base formed by two graphic elements with the characteristic “v” shape. Frame solid oak or burmese teak wood. Base two solid wood elements in the “cornes entrecroisées” [crossed horns] shape. Top wood or glass. this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
