Pierre Chareau Round Cocktail Table

Pierre Chareau was born in Bordeaux in 1883. As early as 1900 he began his artistic career as a student of the famous Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris where he focused on architecture and design. By the 1920's he was already known in the design world for his complex structures and innovative use of architectural space. Chareau began to explore an interest in Cubist space by the mid-1920s, and soon after, his designs became highly sculptural. He is known for his use of combining materials such as lightly hammered steel, unpolished metals, and rich mahogany. 

This table was used in the decor of the Maison de Verre along with Chareau's chair and sofa. It was in the waiting room of Dr. Dulsace's office.
