Wall Console Table by Charlotte Perriand Les Arcs 1970s

Wall console table by Charlotte Perriand, France, Les Arcs 1973. Designed by Charlotte Perriand, this wall-mounted wooden console was created for the ski resort of Les Arcs 1800 and used as a bar in the Les Arandelieres residence. It features a long, free-form solid pine top, showcasing a rich patina and expressive grain. Slightly offset from the wall, the sculptural shape of the top is highlighted, while two black metal supports, echoing Perriand's table base design language at Les Arcs, provide discreet and sturdy structural support. The table can serve as a console, desk, or display surface, offering versatility in a minimal footprint. Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) was a pioneering French designer and architect and a central figure in 20th-century modern design. After closely collaborating with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, she developed a more organic and human-centered approach, rooted in nature and craftsmanship. Her later work, particularly in the French Alps, reflects a deep respect for vernacular architecture and natural materials.
