Sandoz Stool by Charlotte Perriand for Steph Simon, 1965

About This Piece

Vintage Design

A rare piece, the Sandoz stool known as Saber, created by Charlotte Perriand, seduces with its thick circular seat concave on the surface and its distinctive profiled tripod legs, all in solid pine.

Initially made around 1955, it first adorned Charlotte Perriand's personal chalet in Méribel. Then, in 1962, she adapted it to equip the cafeteria of the Swiss pharmaceutical laboratories Sandoz, hence the name.

Coming from the French Alps, this stool embodies Perriand's timeless design.
Good general condition, stable with a nice patina.

Publisher: Steph Simon from 1965.

About the Creator

Charlotte Perriand

Born in Paris in 1903, Charlotte Perriand studied at the Ecole de l’Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs. In 1927, inspired by his architectural treatises, Perriand persuaded Le Corbusier to employ her. He put her in charge of prototype production and public presentations of the studio’s work. In collaboration with Pierre Jeanneret, Perriand developed a series of tubular steel chairs, which were—and are still today—hailed as icons of the machine age.

In 1940, she travelled to Japan as an official advisor on industrial design. When Japan joined the war, she found herself trapped in Vietnam from 1942 until 1946. During her exile, Perriand studied local techniques of woodwork and weaving. She returned to France intent on introducing straw and bamboo to modern design.

Back in France, Perriand continued her work with Le Corbusier and Prouvé. She was integral to the design of Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseille. She remained an influential figure in the modern movement until her death in 1999.
