Cassina Ventaglio Table

Description:

The table top is composed of fourteen staves; the base has three legs.The special configuration of the top 

and the leg placement allow dynamic and flexible table usage, also by a greater number of persons with 

respect to a traditional configuration.

Charlotte Perriand with its wonderful desk Ventaglio, included by Cassina in the beautiful collection " I Maestri" 

in 2004, gives once again proof of her creative genius. Ventaglio is a natural or black stained oak table which 

unfold its swings with a slight movement as if were a peacock and thanks to this particular configuration host 

an higher number of people than a traditional table. Ventaglio is not only an elegant and fine table, but also a 

versatile and functional furniture solution.

A multifunctional and revolutionary piece of furniture, whose form and use distinguish it from all other tables by 

synthesizing the whole concept of the art of living according to Charlotte Perriand. The structure is the simple but 

perfect result of the assembly of fourteen slats, placed side by side and skilfully assembled in the Cassina joinery. 

The various elements are assembled in a structure of great elegance and versatility, which lends itself to interpretations 

that are as dynamic as they are innovative, every time. Used as a dining table, Ventaglio can comfortably seat between 

5 and 9 people depending on the size of the central space. When used as a desk, its irregular shape can accommodate 

a variable number of people depending on the space needed to arrange computers and work instruments. excellent condition.

Revolutionary as much as it is quite different from any other in terms of shape and potential, this multifunctional table is a 

perfect summation of Charlotte Perriand’s take on l’art de vivre.

Depending on the choice of width of the central part, Ventaglio can, when used as a dining table, accommodate between five 

and nine guests. In the office, several people can sit round Ventaglio’s asymmetrical desk-top, with plenty of room for computers 

and other professional tools.
