About the Item

This early production high Berger stool designed by Charlotte Perriand in 1956 is a stunning example of modernist furniture design. This iconic stool embodies Perriand’s philosophy of blending functionality with aesthetics. The stool features a simple yet elegant structure, with a frame made from solid oak. Perriand’s design is characterized by its organic shapes and natural materials, reflecting her deep connection to nature and her desire for harmony in living spaces. The Berger stool is not just a piece of furniture; it is a celebration of craftsmanship and iconic design. Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) was a pioneering French designer and architect, renowned for her innovative approach to modernist design. She began her career in the 1920s and quickly gained recognition for her ability to merge functionality with aesthetic beauty. Perriand was deeply influenced by the Bauhaus movement and the philosophy of creating designs that served the needs of everyday life. One of her most significant contributions was her focus on using industrial materials, which she believed could enhance the quality of living spaces. She often collaborated with other prominent figures, including Le Corbusier, which helped her to push the boundaries of furniture design. Her iconic works, such as the "Bamboo" series and the Berger stool, reflect her love for natural materials and her commitment to sustainability. Throughout her career, Perriand championed the idea that design should be accessible to all, leading to her involvement in social housing projects. Provenance: From a private collection in France
