Vintage French bookcase or shelf system in the style of Charlotte Perriand, 1960's
Beautiful bookcase made out of a very heavy and strong mahogany structure with four doors in black and white, original piece out of the 1960’s. This shelf system is very reminiscent in style and quality of french designer Charlotte Perriand. She was one of the most influential French designers and architects who developed groundbreaking designs. She started out working with steel, turning to her prominent rustic wooden drafts in a free form (Form libre) and arriving at a Japanese influenced style after 1940 inspired by her stay in Japan in that year. She early on met Le Corbusier and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret with whom she would collaborate closely throughout her life, as she did with Jean Prouvé. The cabinet is in very good original condition, completely functional. Some small signs of age on the laminate cabinet doors but nothing significant.
