Similar copy pp.266 and 267 In 1952, architect Jean Sebag designed the Maison de la Tunisie for the Cité Universitaire Internationale in Paris. André Bloc was involved in the project, working with Groupe Espace and Charlotte Perriand to design the rooms. The result was the Tunisia library, now a cult design object of the 1950s. The bookcase was designed and built as the basis for a modular, multi-purpose project. The metal parts were supplied by the Jean Prouvé workshops, and the wooden parts by André Chetaille, Charlotte Perriand's favorite carpenter. A total of forty of the one hundred and twenty-six rooms for Tunisian students have been created, featuring different color combinations on the plots, created by Nicolas Schöffer, Silvano Bozzolini and Sonia Delaunay. The entire project was completed in 1954.
