Wall-mounted pine cabinet, Les Arcs 1800, circa 1970

Wall-mounted cabinet in solid pine from the furniture designed for the residences of Les Arcs 1800 in the early 1970s. The piece features three horizontal shelves and a sculpted side silhouette, typical of the formal vocabulary developed for the interiors of Les Belles Challes. The clean lines and the work on the pine reflect the spirit of modernised Savoyard furniture, designed to be both robust and warm. An authentic piece directly from Les Arcs. Provenance: Les Arcs 1800, Residence Les Belles Challes, France, circa 1970. Bibliography: Charlotte Perriand, The Complete Works, Volume 4, 1968-1999, Jacques Barsac, Norma Éditions, p 253.
