Cassina
Plana Coffee Table
Price starting from € 4.063,00*
*Price valid for the version in matt black lacquered wood (cod. 515 02).
Designed by Charlotte Perriand in 1969, the Plana coffee table draws inspiration from the impact made on Perriand when she saw a colossal rock, whose enormous weight was undercut by the way the waves had eroded it, rendering it smooth. The model derived here is therefore characterized by extreme technological complexity combined with an almost pure formal simplicity, without superfluous elements. The abundant thick table-top and the concave edges enhance a feeling of considerable lightness which places in clear contrast the figurative impact of the design and the rational perception of the real weight. Originally it was designed for the Japanese Embassy in Paris, today Plana stands fully as an element that can be adapted to any environment, perfect for anyone who desires formal purity and material concreteness.

Founded in 1927 by the brothers Cesare and Umberto in the heart of Brianza furniture, Cassina is one of the long-lived Made in Italy industrial design companies. From the early ‘30s, Cassina brothers identified the strong demand for home furnishings and interpreted in a far-sighted way the renewed taste of the new emerging classes. From this intuition, Cassina started a real revolution in the indoor furnishings design. Since then, the company has been pursuing a path of research and innovation, involving prestigious designers and architects in the study of new furnishings models. In the last few years the collaboration with Gio Ponti has begun. Thanks to this partnership were born the 646 chair, known as Leggera, and the subsequent model 699 or Superleggera.Read more
Designed by
Charlotte Perriand
Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) was one of the most important female figures in the history of twentieth-century architecture and design. She owes the beginnings of her career to Le Corbusier, tutelary deity of the Modern Movement, in whose studio she entered shortly after the end of her studies and with whom she collaborated for ten years, from 1927 to 1937. The two signed some of the most famous furnishings of Modernism, in which they gave full artistic dignity to a material such as tubular steel. She is a strong and independent personality, she gradually began to feel the need for a greater possibility of individual expression, and she began to work on her own, or in collaboration with the equally famous Jean Prouvé. She was very fond of travel and did not set boundaries: she had the opportunity to visit the Soviet Union and Japan, where she spent the entire period of the Second World War. In the postwar period she worked more and more often on her own, softening her lines more and more and moving away from the influence of Modernism. Among her most famous projects, the interior of the United Nations Building in Geneva and the ski resort of Méribel. Her furnishings are all reissued by Cassina.Read more
