Designed by Charlotte Perriand in 1955, the Tabouret Méribel is a timeless expression of her belief that good design should be simple, useful, and deeply connected to daily life. Originally created for her alpine home in Méribel-les-Allues, the stool was intended as an honest, hardworking object—one that could move easily through a space and adapt to many uses.
This example, produced by Cassina as part of the authorized 2011 re-edition, is crafted in natural solid oak, highlighting the warmth and character of the wood. The softly rounded seat and three gently splayed legs are shaped with restraint and care, allowing the material and construction to take center stage. Visible joinery and subtle variations in the grain give the piece a sense of quiet individuality.
The Tabouret Méribel is wonderfully versatile. It functions equally well as a stool, a low side table, or a sculptural accent beside a chair or bed. Its compact footprint makes it easy to live with, while its thoughtful proportions give it a grounded, architectural presence. In natural oak, the stool feels especially warm and approachable, with a tactile quality that invites everyday use.
Rooted in Perriand’s human-centered approach to design, this stool remains as relevant today as when it was first conceived. Unpretentious and enduring, it brings a sense of balance, craftsmanship, and calm to both contemporary and traditional interiors—an object meant not just to be seen, but to be used and enjoyed over time. Measures 13” dia x 15.1”
