Sliding door, Hôtel de la Cascade, Les Arcs 1600, Charlotte Perriand, 1969

Sliding wardrobe door designed by Charlotte Perriand for the Hôtel des Trois Arcs in Les Arcs 1600, around 1969. Designed as an element of integrated furniture, this solid pine door contributes to the rational organisation of the station's rooms. Its clean design, characterised by a cladding of vertical slats and a discreetly integrated handle, reflects the architectural approach developed by Charlotte Perriand for Les Arcs, where each element is conceived as an integral part of the space.
