Designer
"Cansado" Sideboard, designed by Charlotte Perriand in 1957.
Originally conceived for the mining town of Cansado in Mauritania, this sideboard reflects Charlotte Perriand's mastery of functional elegance and minimalist design. Its mahogany-veneered structure is defined by two sliding doors in striking black and white contrast, complemented by four lateral drawers for optimal storage. Elevated by a black lacquered metal base, the piece achieves a perfect balance between solidity and visual lightness, embodying the modernist spirit of its time.
