523 tabouret meribel
Design Charlotte Perriand,
0
The high stool (Meribel) takes its name from the Meribel chalet in France, where Charlotte Perriand had a house and where she reinterpreted the local architecture over the years. Marked by three “cut-fi nished” legs. The low version of the stool (Berger) draws inspiration from the stools used by shepherds and hence its name. Marked by three turned legs. Both versions come in solid wood with a natural oak, dyed black and natural Canaletto walnut finish. The use of solid wood conveys a pleasant sense of softness, with continuous grain between the top and the edge, and a depth of surfaces that traces infinite authentic variations on each piece.

The Cassina company was created by the brothers Cesare and Umberto Cassina in 1927 in Meda, Brianza, (Northern Italy). In 1964, the Cassina Masters Collection was born, with the acquisition of product rights of Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand. Today, Cassina is the exclusive worldwide licensee of the Le Corbusier designs. The "Cassina I Maestri" collection was widened in 1968 with the acquisition of reproduction rights to some of the Bauhaus objects, and in 1971, the designs of Gerrit Rietveld, Frank Lloyd Wright, and of Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1972. The collection continued still, with the re-issue in 1983 of furniture by Erik Gunner Asplund, rights to reproduce furniture by Frank Lloyd Wright, including the Barrel chair, and, finally, in 2004, furniture by Charlotte Perriand.
