Jeanne

Overview

Jeanne is a coffee table by Christophe Delcourt for Molteni&C. A central fulcrum joins two overlapping planes. The page lists round, square, rectangular and trapezoidal versions; JTT1 is the round version used for the dimensions below.

Construction

Two shaped tops with asymmetric edges sit at different levels. A thin metal sheet separates the planes and lets light pass between them. Solid wood legs intersect at the base, which acts as the junction point for the upper elements.

Specifications

• JTT1: diameter 120 cm; largest vertical drawing value 35.5 cm
• The drawing does not label the vertical value.
• The page lists round, square, rectangular and trapezoidal forms.

Connections as structure

Delcourt describes a table as more than a simple combination of top and base. For Jeanne, the designer uses the connection between components as the central idea: the parts intertwine to form one coherent piece.

A companion for Edmond

The page presents Jeanne as a table designed to accompany the Edmond sofa system, while also functioning independently. The layered planes, separating metal sheet and wooden junction give the table the clear order and lightness described on the product page.
