LC12 Table La Roche by Le Corbusier

LC12 Table La Roche

Design Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret

BOLD CONTRAST

Designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret in 1925 for the Maison La Roche in Paris, this design table with rectangular top in wood or glass is truly outstanding thanks to the bold contrast between its two main components: the support and what is supported.

The plastic and conceptual values of this exemplar derive from an inversion of roles of the parts in which the vibrant lightness of the top is opposed to its actual weight while the comforting stability of the base contrasts with its slender lines.

Reduced to the minimum width possible for its height, the base in polished tubular steel rises up against the sweeping horizontal surface of the top, creating a dimensional contrast already explored by Le Corbusier in other works.
