Each bench, composed of three wide, parallel planks, showcases the warmth of the polished wood, whose honey hue contrasts elegantly with the surrounding greenery. The clean, linear design lends these pieces a subtle modernity while respecting traditional craftsmanship. Placed on the grass, they evoke an invitation to relax and share time outdoors. Their robust structure suggests a longevity that defies the passage of time. The ensemble is distinguished by a perfect harmony between function and aesthetics, testifying to artisanal expertise and respect for natural materials. These benches transcend their primary use, becoming works of art dedicated to conviviality and the appreciation of nature's simple beauty.

They are emblematic of the Les Arcs resort, whose history is closely intertwined with that of Charlotte Perriand. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
