Bauche chair and stool set, Charlotte Perriand for Maison Sentou, circa 1950

A set comprising a chair and a stool, Bauche model no. 19, designed by Charlotte Perriand and produced by Maison Sentou in the 1950s. The chair features a solid ash frame resting on four log legs connected by cross braces, supporting a seat and backrest of woven straw. The stool shares the same construction characteristics, in a compact version true to the mountain aesthetic developed by Perriand. The straw upholstery has been recently restored to give the pieces a second life while respecting their original character. Produced by: Maison Sentou, circa 1950.
