The concept of the iconic Table tube d’avion lies in the distinction between the support piece and the piece being supported; in other words, between the base and the top.

The independence of the two parts of this table is highlighted by the four intermediate supports that serve both as level adjusters and as spacers between the bulk of the support and the slender lines of the top.

Made for outdoor settings, this outdoor table has a stainless-steel structure with a textured powder-coated finish designed for outdoor use, it comes in several colors.

FRAME
Painted elliptical section tubular stainless steel.

TOP
Carrara marble.

The core concept for the Table tube d’avion table, introduced in 1929 at the Salon d’Automne, lies in the distinction between the support piece and the piece being supported; in other words, between the base and the top. The separation of the two parts is highlighted by the four intermediate supports that serve both as level adjusters and as spacers between the mass of the support and the slender lines of the top. Specifically, the base was designed in 1928, taking its cue from the oval profiles used in the aeronautical sector to separate the wings of biplanes. The current model also comes in an outdoor version with stainless-steel structure and textured powder-coat finish specifically for outdoor use, in five colours.

About The Designer:
In 1922, Le Corbusier began working in the new rue de Sèvres, Paris, atelier with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret with whom he shared research projects and design criteria in a profound and life-long professional relationship.In October 1927, the pair decided to draw on the contribution of a young architect who had already begun to establish a reputation on the architectural scene of the time: Charlotte Perriand. Their collaboration lasted through to 1937 and was extremely fruitful, especially in the field of furniture design. The partnership was highly significant, both in terms of the cultural weight of their achievements and their professional successes.It was together with Charlotte Perriand that the pair tackled the innovative project for “l’équipement d'intérieur de l’habitation”. The resulting designs were of great intellectual value and considerable commercial success. Thanks to Cassina’s ongoing production, there is continued interest in the conceptual contents of the work and the level of quality attained.Due to these characteristics, each item in the collection is eagerly awaited.
