Les Arcs chair, selected by Charlotte Perriand, 1960s

About the item
This original Les Arcs chair was selected by Charlotte Perriand for the famous ski resort in the French Alps. The slender chrome frame and thick saddle leather create a beautiful balance between visual lightness, warmth, and authenticity.

About design and history
From the 1960s onwards, Perriand worked intensively on the development of Les Arcs , where architecture, interior, and landscape were intended to form a unified whole. The furniture was selected based on the same philosophy: simple, robust, functional, and made from honest materials. This chair aligns perfectly with that vision and became a recognizable part of the Les Arcs aesthetic.

About the designer and maker
Charlotte Perriand is one of the most important designers of French Modernism. For Les Arcs, she designed and selected furniture that combined practical use with a strong sense of materiality. This chair is therefore closely linked to her interior vision, without attributing her as the original designer.

About fitness
The chair is in good, authentic vintage condition . The harness leather has developed a beautiful natural patina that further enhances the character and history of the piece.
