Mountain bench in solid pine, France, circa 1975

Bench made of solid pine, created in the mid-1970s for the residential development programmes at the Les Arcs 1800 resort. Designed for collective and intensive use, this bench features a deliberately simple and robust construction. The design prioritises functionality, stability, and the clarity of the structure, allowing the wood to play a central role in the perception of the object. The whole fits into an approach to mountain furniture where durability and simplicity take precedence. This type of bench corresponds to the furniture choices made at Les Arcs as part of the developments coordinated by Charlotte Perriand. France, circa 1975.
