Story
Office furniture for Jean-Richard Bloch
The page says Perriand designed the desk in 1938, when she created the office furniture for Jean-Richard Bloch.
No central position
The sheet says the boomerang shape seats about ten people without anyone in a central position, ending the presidential office archetype.
Re-edited with her daughter
Cassina re-edits the desk in close collaboration with Pernette Perriand-Barsac, with new finishes in ash and Canaletto walnut.
