Charlotte Perriand Nuage À Plots for Cassina, Italy, new

Nuage à Plots by Charlotte Perriand belongs to a select group of furnishings that are archetypal in the way of interpreting space. Inspired, like the original Nuage, by a series of floating shelves mounted on the walls of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, the bookcase is a rhythmic system of shelves and vertical elements (aluminum plots) connected and held together with tensioning rods and fixing anchors to form a modular piece of furniture. Two features differentiate this model from the original: the single 33.5cm depth of the top, and the plots, left exposed without adding sliding doors and crafted of a single piece of curved aluminum that replace the classic sides and back, serving as vertical elements to separate the shelves.
