The Mille et un Carré table is built from a reduced-scale ceramic module whose orderly repetition generates a remarkably expansive volume. By transposing a material usually reserved for architecture into the realm of furniture, the piece takes on an almost structural dimension. White ceramic unifies the top and base within a continuous grid, bringing light and rhythm to the silhouette.
Created in 1992 specifically for the residence of the renowned art director and photographer Jean-Paul Goude, the Mille et un carreaux table is an emblematic piece of Andrée Putman’s design.
Its concept is based on the use of an entirely ordinary and widely available material: the white glazed ceramic tile.
It is precisely within this material simplicity that the brilliance of the design lies.
