Charlotte Perriand (1903–1999) Pair of stools Pine 1968 H42 L44 P30 cm From Les Arcs, Savoie Beginning in 1967, Charlotte Perriand collaborated with the Atelier d’architecture en montagne to design the architecture and layout of the Les Arcs resort, with Arc 1600 opening in 1968. There, she applied her philosophy of minimalist, rational, and warm design, inspired by her travels in Japan and her love for Alpine living. These pine stools, sourced from the resort’s housing units, are a direct expression of that philosophy: sturdy, easy-to-move pieces designed for compact spaces.
