This exceptional set of four Les Arcs dining chairs was selected by Charlotte Perriand for the iconic Les Arcs ski resort in the French Alps during the 1960s. Designed to combine durability with modern elegance, these chairs perfectly embody the functional yet refined aesthetic associated with Perriand’s work for the pioneering alpine resort. The chairs feature a tubular chrome-plated steel frame supporting a beautifully aged saddle leather seat and backrest, secured with leather straps and riveted details. The combination of industrial metal and natural leather creates a striking balance between strength and warmth, characteristic of the modernist design language developed for Les Arcs. Over time, the leather has developed a rich and authentic patina, giving each chair a unique character and depth that only decades of use can create. This natural aging enhances the visual appeal and highlights the quality of the original materials. Originally designed for the interiors of the Les Arcs resort, these chairs are now considered iconic examples of French modernist design, highly sought after by collectors of Charlotte Perriand and mid-century alpine furniture. Their sculptural silhouette and honest materials allow them to integrate effortlessly into both contemporary and vintage interiors. The set remains in good vintage condition with a beautiful patinated leather surface consistent with age and use, further contributing to their authenticity and charm. A rare opportunity to acquire a set of four original Les Arcs chairs closely associated with Charlotte Perriand’s legendary alpine project.
