Solid pine stool designed by René Martin, a cabinetmaker nicknamed "René the Scissors," a discreet yet essential figure in post-war Alpine design. A collaborator of Charlotte Perriand, he participated in several design projects for the resorts of Méribel and Les Arcs in the French Alps.
Resting on a four-legged base with turned legs, this stool features a thick, slightly concave circular seat that reveals the natural grain of the pine. Combining simplicity, sturdiness, and rustic elegance, it perfectly embodies the spirit of modernist mountain furniture, designed to last and integrate seamlessly with the architecture.
Provenance: Méribel, circa 1965. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
