Tronc Set of 2 Dessert Plates
Made by Cassina
Designed by Charlotte Perriand
Charlotte Perriand spent a lifetime in conversation with the natural world, and the Tronc plates carry that conversation to the table. Part of Cassina's Le Monde de Charlotte Perriand collection, each ceramic plate is embossed with a pattern drawn directly from tree bark. The texture is not ornamental. It is memory, rendered in relief.
The surface reads differently as light shifts across it, giving the glaze an atmospheric quality that a flat finish cannot achieve. In hand, the embossing is immediate and tactile, a reminder that even the most considered objects can hold something wild at their core.
- Ceramic construction with embossed bark-relief surface

- Sold as a set of two dessert plates

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Le Monde de Charlotte Perriand collection?
Le Monde de Charlotte Perriand is Cassina's tribute collection honoring the French designer's legacy, translating her philosophy of integrating nature, craft, and modernism into contemporary objects including tableware, furniture, and accessories.
What material are the Tronc plates made from?
The Tronc plates are crafted from ceramic, with an embossed surface relief that evokes the texture of tree bark - a signature reference to Perriand's enduring connection to natural forms.
Who was Charlotte Perriand and why does her work matter?
Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) was a pioneering French architect and designer, celebrated for her collaborations with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret and her ability to bridge modernist rigor with a deeply humanist, nature-informed sensibility. Her influence on 20th-century design is considered foundational.
Are the Tronc plates suitable for everyday use?
Yes - the ceramic construction is designed for functional use, and the embossed relief retains its integrity through regular handling, making these plates as practical as they are considered in their design.
How do the Tronc plates fit within a broader table setting?
The plates' restrained palette and organic texture make them highly adaptable alongside both contemporary and artisanal tableware; architects and designers often pair them with natural linen, stoneware, and raw-edged serving pieces to reinforce an organic, grounded table composition.
