Presented at the Salon d'Automne in Paris in 1929, Cassina's 6 Table Tube d'Avion was born from a revolutionary idea: to clearly distinguish the supporting element from the tabletop, emphasising the autonomy between structure and surface. Designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, this table continues to surprise with its bold and contemporary design.
The visual separation between the base and the top is emphasised by four intermediate supports, which act as spacers and level adjusters, creating a balance between the solidity of the base and the lightness of the top. The base, designed in 1928, is inspired by the ovoid profiles used in aeronautics to separate the wings of biplanes, giving the table a technical and sophisticated character.
In the current version, the structure is made of steel painted in Le Corbusier's colour palette, while the rectangular top is available in crystal, pressed glass or in refined finishes in white Carrara marble and black Marquina marble. Each material is selected to offer a high-level aesthetic and tactile experience.
Perfect for the dining area, Cassina's 6 Table Tube d'Avion stands out as the centrepiece of the space, combining functionality and style. The different finishes and shades allow it to be adapted to a variety of contexts, making each environment unique and refined.
