Solid teak director’s table. Rectangular top with a cedar frame covered in black leather and inserted into a solid teak frame. Three pairs of high “compass”-type legs affixed under the table top. A high crosspiece and a suspended chest on the right containing two drawers. Round, hollowed-out opening grips on an aluminium background, typical of the work of Pierre JEANNERET in Chandigarh.
Cedar, a soft, local wood, allows the leather to be fixed by tacking, unlike teak, which is a dense wood and therefore too hard for the purpose.
