About This Piece

Vintage Design

Pine Wood Charlotte Perriand Stools for Les Arcs, France, 1960s This pine wood stool was designed by Charlotte Perriand for the Les Arcs ski resort in France around 1960. It is a simple and iconic design, with clean lines typical of Perriand's work. These particular stools have a beautiful patina that adds to their charm. Charlotte Perriand was a French designer born in 1903. She studied at the École de l'Union centrale des Arts décoratifs in Paris from 1920 to 1925. She designed furniture made from anodized aluminum and chromium-plated steel, which she presented at the 1927 "Salon d'Automne" in Paris. Perriand later worked with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret until 1937, designing revolutionary tubular steel furnishings and system furniture. In 1930, she showed her work solo at the Union Des Artistes Modernes (UAM) in Paris, a countermovement challenging establishment organizations. In 1937, Perriand and Jeanneret designed a mountain chalet made of sheet aluminum, which they showed at the "Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne." Perriand later became a design consultant to the Japanese Board of Trade in 1940, living in Japan until 1946. Her designs after this time reflect Japanese influences, as seen in the 1953 chair "Synthe'se des Arts."

About the Creator

Charlotte Perriand

Born in Paris in 1903, Charlotte Perriand studied at the Ecole de l’Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs. In 1927, inspired by his architectural treatises, Perriand persuaded Le Corbusier to employ her. He put her in charge of prototype production and public presentations of the studio’s work. In collaboration with Pierre Jeanneret, Perriand developed a series of tubular steel chairs, which were—and are still today—hailed as icons of the machine age.

In 1940, she travelled to Japan as an official advisor on industrial design. When Japan joined the war, she found herself trapped in Vietnam from 1942 until 1946. During her exile, Perriand studied local techniques of woodwork and weaving. She returned to France intent on introducing straw and bamboo to modern design.

Back in France, Perriand continued her work with Le Corbusier and Prouvé. She was integral to the design of Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseille. She remained an influential figure in the modern movement until her death in 1999.
