Pair of Bauche model chairs by Charlotte Perriand, circa 1950

Pair of Bauche No. 19 lounge chairs, designed by Charlotte Perriand and produced by Maison Sentou in the 1950s. This model illustrates Perriand's vision of harmony between modernism and nature. Their all-ash wood frame consists of four round legs connected by stretchers, supporting a woven straw seat and back. They have a lovely patina that adds to their charm, and the seats and backs have been restored. Producer: Maison Sentou, circa 1950.
