Pair of “La Cachette” low lounge chairs, attributed to Charlotte Perriand, France, circa late 1960s. Their wood frames and cashmere upholstery pair a substantial architectural silhouette with a soft, tactile finish. Each measures 27 inches wide, 26 inches deep and 26.75 inches high. Broad arms, a low seat and visible timber members create the compact, grounded profile associated with seating for La Cachette at Arc 1600, Les Arcs.
La Cachette is part of Arc 1600 at Les Arcs in the French Alps, a resort developed from the late 1960s. Charlotte Perriand played a central role in shaping its architectural and interior vision alongside a wider group of collaborators. Furniture associated with this setting reflects a close dialogue between modern living and the mountain landscape: honest timber construction, generous comfort and materials chosen for warmth and durability.
Perriand’s approach to mountain interiors favored furniture that could be lived with comfortably while remaining in close conversation with its setting. Here, the exposed frame provides a strong outline and the loose upholstery tempers it with warmth. The cashmere covering is distinct from the vintage wood structure.
