Perriand’s collaborative work at Les Arcs aimed to harmonize modernist design with the natural ruggedness of the mountains, producing furniture that was both functional and poetic in its simplicity. This stool is made from solid patinated pine, showcasing the natural character of the wood—visible grain, knots, and a soft golden tone developed over decades of use. Its construction is honest and robust: a rectangular seat with gently rounded corners is supported by two slab legs joined by a stretcher, forming a bold and geometric silhouette. Originally designed for use in the resort’s apartments and communal spaces, these stools were built to endure the demands of hospitality. The result is a piece that is not only practical—stackable, lightweight, and versatile—but also deeply architectural in presence. This example remains in very good vintage condition, with warm patina and signs of use consistent with age. It serves beautifully as a stool, low side table, or sculptural accent. Whether in a modern interior or rustic space, it adds an unmistakable piece of 20th-century design history. Only one available.
