Ventaglio Table
Charlotte Perriand believed that furniture should respond to life in all its complexity. The Ventaglio, Italian for "fan," distills that belief into a single, resolute form. Fourteen wooden staves, placed side by side and assembled with the precision Cassina's carpenters are known for, open into an asymmetrical fan-shaped surface that refuses a single definition. It is neither purely a dining table nor purely a desk, but both, and more.
A configurable central section allows the table to seat between five and nine guests, or to accommodate a working team with room for screens and professional tools. The silhouette is at once architectural and warm. The radiating stave construction carries an almost geological rhythm, a reminder that Perriand drew as readily from the natural world as from the drafting table.
- Fourteen-stave fan construction in solid wood
- Asymmetrical form adaptable to dining and professional use
- Configurable central section seats five to nine
- Crafted by Cassina to the original Perriand specifications
Perriand spent decades questioning how people inhabit space, working alongside Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret before forging a body of work unmistakably her own. The Ventaglio is among her most considered statements: a table that holds the geometry of the fan in wood, and holds within that geometry a genuine argument for how we might gather.
