Solid pine bench, Les Arcs 1800, France, circa 1975

Bench in solid pine made in the late 1960s for the development of the Les Arcs 1800 resort. Built from simple and robust sections, this bench prioritises a functional approach to furniture, suited to communal uses and mountain interiors. The deliberately understated design highlights the wood and the clarity of the structure, in the spirit of the equipment designed for the resort's residences. This type of furniture is part of the selections made at Les Arcs during the development campaigns coordinated by Charlotte Perriand. France, circa 1975.
