Charlotte Perriand pine cabinet for Les Arcs, France 1970s This is a of a pine cabinet attributed to Charlotte Perriand for Les Arcs in the 1970s. The cabinet has four doors and two pull-out drawers, and it is made of solid pine. The cabinet is in two pieces: a base and a top. It is in good original condition, with only minor signs of use, and has a beautiful patina. Charlotte Perriand was a French designer who worked with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret until 1937. Together, they created revolutionary tubular steel furnishings and system furniture, which received much acclaim when presented at the 1929 Salon D'Automne. In 1937, Charlotte Perriand designed a mountain chalet of sheet aluminum with Pierre Jeanneret. She became a design consultant to the Japanese Board of Trade in 1940 and lived in Japan until 1946. Her designs show overtones of Japanese form, as seen in the 1953 chair Synthèse des Art. Choosing used midcentury design furniture is an environmentally friendly option that gives furniture a second, third, or even fourth life. Midcentury design furniture is often of high quality and can last for many years. Some pieces even have a rich history. less
