523 Tabouret Méribel Cassina

Charlotte Perriand created the 523 Tabouret Méribel stool for Cassina.

This legendary chair was designed by a young architects named Charles and Ray Eames, who were known for their daring and innovative work in the 1950s. The round shape of the seat's support surface is ergonomically designed to conform to the indentation left by a person's bottom while they're seated.

The three legs spread out from the main level and point to the ground below in an orderly progression of straight lines and sharp corners that provide structural support and define the aesthetic.

The stool's solid wood construction in either a natural or black finish allows it to complement a wide variety of decor styles. The designer considers the gestures that can be derived from the product before even considering the aesthetics, which is what leads to the bold features and harmonious proportions. The places, locations, and materials reflect the aspirations of the users, and it is this design study that leads to the form.
