Stool

This is for an iconic stool designed by Charlotte Perriand, and manufactured by Steph Simon France, 1953. the Berger stool exemplifies her unique ability to merge traditional craftsmanship with modernist principles. Inspired by the simple, utilitarian stools used by shepherds in the French Alps, the Berger stool reflects Perriand’s deep appreciation for rural design and natural materials, a hallmark of her work. This high stool features a tripod base for stability and a slightly concave wooden seat for comfort. Its solid mahogany wood construction, more often crafted from ash or walnut, highlights the material’s natural beauty, left raw or lightly finished to emphasize its organic qualities. While rooted in tradition, the design is unmistakably modern, showcasing clean lines and functional elegance. This stool shows a fantastic original patina, roughly used, but charactaristic as it gets. Its hard to find an original untouched copy of the Berger stool, like this one.
