About the Item

René Martin, known as "René les Ciseaux," was a renowned French cabinetmaker, celebrated for his collaboration with the esteemed designer Charlotte Perriand. Together, they embarked on several iconic projects, notably including the design of the Les Arcs ski resort in the French Alps. One of his most notable achievements was crafting furniture for the apartments and chalets at Les Arcs, where he skillfully integrated local materials like solid pine. His designs not only prioritized functionality and durability but also harmonized seamlessly with Perriand's modern aesthetic. René Martin's creations are celebrated for their elegant simplicity, sturdy craftsmanship, and innovative design approach. This pair of quadripod stools with mortise and tenon joints supporting a circular seat, crafted entirely from solid fir, originates from Méribel. Provenance: Chalet furnished by Charlotte Perriand in Méribel circa 1965.
