Pierre Gautier-Delaye was one of the great French modernist designers. Like Pierre Chapo and Le Corbusier, he worked with Charlotte Periand. This ebonized table has a distinctly Japanese feeling. The legs flare almost imperceptibly, and while the design is strongly rectangular, the outer corners are softly rounded. The middle interstice is a bold design stroke.
