Charles Edouard Jeanneret, known as Le Corbusier, referred to a house as a "machine for living," an industrial product that should include functional furniture or "equipment de l'habitation." In this spirit, he designed a system of furniture with Charlotte Perriand and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret. The group's LC10 Square Low Table (1928) was originally presented in the form of a desk at the 1929 Salon d'Automne in Paris. With this piece, the framework is reduced to a minimum, leaving only the treatment of the metals on the tubular legs and side pieces to express the rationalist aesthetic that came to epitomize the International Style. In its present-day version, this table is manufactured using an idea pulled from the original working drawings by Charlotte Perriand. That idea was to make the legs and side pieces separately to ensure the highest quality finish. It also means that components of various sizes can be used to create tables more in line with present demand. Each piece is signed and numbered and, as a product of Cassina's Masters Collection, is manufactured by Cassina in Italy under exclusive worldwide license from the Le Corbusier Foundation.
