Les Arcs Chairs

A very rare pair of medium height oak stools with beautiful patina made for Les Arcs Ski Resort in Savoie France.

Set of two stools with three legs entirely realized in black stained wood, designed in the style of Charlotte Perriand and manufactured in the 1950s. Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) is one of the most important female furniture designers of the mid 20th century.

Included was a library built in...
