The Tabouret Berger, designed by Charlotte Perriand in 1955, takes direct inspiration from traditional milking stools—simple, lightweight objects made to be useful, stable, and close at hand. Perriand embraced these vernacular forms, translating them into modern designs that feel timeless and deeply human.
Produced by Cassina as part of the official 2011 re-edition, this version is crafted in natural solid oak, emphasizing the warmth and tactility of the material. Slightly smaller than the Tabouret Méribel, the Berger stool has a modest scale that makes it especially versatile. Soft edges, visible joinery, and subtle variations in the grain give the piece an honest, handcrafted feel.
The stool functions easily as seating, a low side table, or a quiet accent in a room. Its lightweight form allows it to move effortlessly through a space, while its simple geometry keeps it visually grounded. In natural oak, the design feels especially approachable—an object meant to be touched, used, and lived with.
Rooted in everyday tradition and refined through thoughtful design, the Tabouret Berger remains a compelling example of Perriand’s enduring philosophy: furniture that serves real life, beautifully and without pretense. Measures 13” dia x 10.5”
