Pair of “La Cachette” low lounge chairs, attributed to Charlotte Perriand, France, circa late 1960s. Oak-toned wood frames and linen upholstery give this pair a restrained, tactile character. Each chair measures 26.75 inches wide, 25.5 inches deep and 26.75 inches high, with a 15-inch seat height. The compact proportions, low seat and clearly expressed timber structure are characteristic of the seating associated with 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.
The chairs bring a sculptural presence to a room without sacrificing the informal comfort intended for Alpine interiors. Their linen cushions soften the substantial frame while leaving the construction visible from every side. The upholstery is described as a separate element from the period wood structure.
