Cassina has four new designs in wood designed by Le Corbusier for Cassina I Maestri Collection. At the showroom in Paris boulevard Saint Germain has presented a world exclusive, consisting of Tabouret, Conférence de Table, Table de travail avec Rayonnages and Portemanteau.

After years of testing of tubular metal, Le Corbusier used the wood, especially in artistic maturity in a new-found closeness with nature, orienting production towards basic objects and archetypes.

The simplicity and ease of any interior is enhanced and enriched by complex processes, such as dovetail joints to the Tabouret, the result of extreme precision construction or pegs molded mushroom Portemanteau revealing the ability of Cassina of “shaping” the wooden furniture.
