Pierre Chareau belonged to a generation of French designers who saw no contradiction between craft and industry, and Petit Pan Coupés Desk is a quiet demonstration of that belief. He paired the raw honesty of hand-worked metal and stone with materials chosen for how they behaved under light, treating each piece as a small architectural gesture rather than a decorative afterthought.
The Petit Pan Coupés desk hides real complexity behind a compact footprint: a fixed central work surface is flanked by two sliding side panels that can close over four side drawers and a central drawer, all standing on simple wooden block feet. It is a masterclass in variable geometry, letting a small desk expand its storage without ever growing in footprint.
MCDE Gallery is the reference for reissues of Pierre Chareau’s most iconic designs. Over the past forty years, the gallery founded by French art collector Maxime Defert has done an outstanding work by perpetuating the legacy of the great architect and designer. Defert, a great admirer of Chareau, thought it was his duty to reissue his work and bring to people’s homes the designs of “one of the most modern creators of the first half of the 20th century”. Now, Pierre-Emmanuel Risch and his wife Carole, continue to promote Pierre Chareau’s unique works – lighting fixtures and furnishings – by producing exquisite reissues in their workshops in France.
