This surface consists of nineteen short slats arranged parallel, available in a natural oak or dark dyed fi nish, for a range of different uses: as a table, as a bench or padded unit by simply adding cushions (armrest, seat and set of seat and backrest cushions), which can be added to the structure and fixed in place using a simple fastening system Charlotte Perriand created this modular system in 1953 in Tokyo, for her own use.
