A Japanese architectural puzzle

Charlotte Perriand designed the Ambassade 537 screen for Cassina in 1969 to decorate the interior of an ambassador’s house. She drew deep inspiration from Japanese craftsmanship and its minimalist philosophy. This screen becomes a true artist’s puzzle, composed of precisely assembled blocks. It enriches any space with an exotic and functional touch. This high-end piece celebrates the harmony between culture and design.

Solid Canaletto walnut, modular assembly

Cassina selects solid Canaletto walnut for the panels of the Ambassade 537 screen. Artisans hand-assemble the blocks into a lightweight and stable structure, without visible screws. The natural oiled finish reveals the elegant wood grain – matte and velvety to the touch. The walnut brings warmth and depth, resisting the years without losing its glow.

Intuitive and versatile space division

Unfold the Ambassade 537 screen to divide a living room without harsh enclosure. It measures approximately 180 cm in height and extends to 200 cm when open, with a minimal thickness of 5 cm. Use it as a decorative screen, object support or architectural element. For example, it creates an intimate corner near a window or isolates an improvised office. Its modularity allows varied configurations depending on the room’s mood.

Refined harmony in contemporary interiors

Canaletto walnut pairs perfectly with off-white, pearl grey or natural linen. It dialogues with Berber rugs, Japanese plants or brushed metal furniture. The Ambassade 537 screen by Charlotte Perriand for Cassina fits into an urban loft or Mediterranean villa alike. Its airy silhouette preserves light and circulation. It elevates the space to zen and sophisticated serenity.

Charlotte Perriand’s passion for Japan at Cassina

Charlotte Perriand, fascinated by Japan since the 1930s, infuses her love for craftsmanship and poetic simplicity here. Cassina has faithfully reissued this model since 2010, with Pernette Perriand-Barsac. The Ambassade 537 screen embodies this vision: liberated forms, honest materials and lasting emotion. A work that invites contemplation and a different way of inhabiting space.
