Originally created for the residence of the renowned art director and photographer Jean-Paul Goude, the Mille et un carreaux table has become an emblematic piece of Andrée Putman’s design legacy. Its concept is based on the use of an inherently ordinary material. Yet, far from any sense of extravagance, Andrée Putman elevates this humble surface to a level of sophistication through an approach defined by extreme precision. The meticulous assembly of the tiles, the accuracy of the lines, and the harmony of proportions transform the piece into a minimalist work of art. This table fully embodies the attention to detail, pursuit of purity, and timeless elegance that define Andrée Putman’s oeuvre. It illustrates her unique ability to confer unexpected nobility upon everyday materials, affirming that true luxury lies in the precision of gesture and the perfection of proportions.
