Petit bureau en forme libre desk by Charlotte Perriand – Cassina I Maestri Collection.‎Charlotte Perriand started working on the en forme libre series of tables in 1938.‎ This elegant writing desk with its smooth, rounded edges and asymmetrical form was designed in 1956 as a clever solution for smaller spaces thanks to its contained dimensions: a “free form” that can be freely used.‎Today, in collaboration with Pernette Perriand-Barsac, small changes have been made to make the Petit bureau en forme libre desk suitable for professional use.‎ A cable passage positioned on the left-hand side of the desk top leads to a built-in power unit, sold separately, that features two USB sockets (type A+N and C) and a plug socket.‎ The cable entry pocket cover is upholstered in black or tobacco coloured saddle leather, just like the optional, non-slip desk pad to protect the desk’s surface.‎ A reinforcing metal structure has also been incorporated inside the wide, oval leg and two smaller cylindrical ones to guarantee further stability.‎The solid Canaletto walnut version of the Petit bureau en forme libre particularly highlights the beauty of the desk’s natural materials and testimonies Cassina’s skill in wood craftsmanship.‎ The desk is also available in matt lacquered wood in a variety of colours.‎Materials: solid Canaletto walnut with a low gloss finish or matt lacquered wood; metallic structure in iron painted black.‎
