table Le Corbusier LC6 by Cassina

The key idea at the heart of this table is to make a distinction between its load bearing base and the top that was to be supported.

Each piece is completely autonomous and this is highlighted by the addition of the four middle support pieces used to adjust the height and keep the slim rectangular top in place over its the heavy base.

The steel base is enamelled in the Le Corbusier’s colours palette: black, light blue, grey, green, mud and ivory with tops in crystal, textured glass or in the finishes natural or black stained oak or American walnut and in white Carrara or black Marquiña marble.

The base of this table was designed in 1928 using the ovoidal profi les adopted in aviation to maintain separate the wings of biplanes. The version presented at the Salon d’Automne in 1929 had a rose coloured printed glass top and a green base; later, Charlotte Perriand developed, among other versions, also a model with a blue top and an ivory coloured base.
