Description
Crafted as an homage to pastoral mountain life, this original low stool—affectionately known as the Berger Stool—beautifully encapsulates Charlotte Perriand’s mastery of form and material. Designed in the spirit of the Alps, it seamlessly integrates the typical materials of the region, reflecting Perriand’s profound connection to nature and traditional craftsmanship.
The stool showcases her dedication to artisanal woodworking techniques, with delicately tapered legs and finely executed joinery that speak to the skillful artistry behind its creation. The hallmark connection beneath the seat is a nod to the timeless process of hand-turning wood, a craft that Perriand held in high regard. The natural patina and subtle aging of the pinewood enhance its authenticity, giving this piece a rich sense of character and history.
This particular stool was acquired in 1979 in Toulouse, and we hold the original proof of purchase, which will be provided alongside a certificate of authenticity. Its provenance adds to the significance and collectibility of this remarkable piece.
Additionally, this stool is featured in the prestigious volume *”Charlotte Perriand Complete Works Volume 2: 1940-1955,”* cementing its importance in the legacy of one of the 20th century’s most influential designers.
