Charlotte Perriand - Berger Stool

Vintage Berger Stool - Circa 1950s - Provenance private residence Paris, France

The Berger stool, a timeless piece of furniture, was designed in 1953 by renowned French architect and designer Charlotte Perriand. Originally created for the Les Arcs ski resort in the French Alps, the Berger stool is a prime example of Perriand’s innovative and functional design philosophy. For this milk stool, she took the everyday object out of its usual context and placed it in a new setting. Charlotte Perriand often repurposed existing designs by either giving them a new function or slightly adapting them to meet contemporary needs.

The Berger stool is made from two elegantly curved wooden pieces with a characteristic dovetail joint and featuring three legs, the Berger stool is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Its lightweight construction and thoughtful design make it easy to move and a versatile seating option for any modern interior.

Named after Perriand’s friend and collaborator, Jean Berger, the Berger stool has become a beloved icon of mid-century design. Its simplicity, elegance, and functionality make it an ideal addition to any artfully curated space.
