Charlotte Perriand, Table Ventaglio - Reissue Cassina 511 From 1972, Numbered.

Table in natural or black stained oak. The top is made up of fourteen slats; the base has three feet. The special configuration of the table top and the arrangement of the legs allow a dynamic and flexible use of the table by a greater number of people than in a traditional configuration. Created in 1972 for its chalet in Méribel, this revolutionary table stands out for its shape and use of all existing table models and is the perfect synthesis of Charlotte Perriand's art of living. Edited by Cassina from 2004. The whole formal arrangement, anything but elementary, is based on the simple assembly of boards placed side by side. Partly aligned in parallel directions, part in delta radial directions, the individual components combine to form a complex structure of unexpected versatility. The table is therefore able to express a wide range of new attributes, which make it usable not only for the usual functions, often carried out with a small margin of freedom, but also for dynamic use, without restriction of codes. For example, the place where the elements are placed loses its traditional position as a centerpiece, which facilitates a more conscious participation of the diners in the communication.
