Le Course du Soleil

The Cassina Le Course du Soleil tray, designed in collaboration with Richard Ginori and the Le Corbusier Foundation, is a stunning example of modernist design transformed into functional art. This rectangular tray, crafted from pure, unglazed porcelain, draws inspiration from Le Corbusier’s iconic bas-relief symbols, originally used to adorn the walls of Chandigarh, the city he designed in the 1950s, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tray’s design is based on a sketch by Le Corbusier from 1956, symbolizing the movement of the sun. This refined piece is part of a collection that also features other symbols from his figurative portfolio, including the open hand and the fish, all paying homage to the artistic and architectural legacy of Le Corbusier.
