Is it a stool or table? That's for you to decide. Meticulously crafted in solid wood with hand-crafted angular legs, the 523 Tabouret Meribel Stool (1953) has a comfortable scooped seat and sturdy tripod base. The continuity of the wood grain from across the seat and around the edges furthers the warmth and softness of this piece. Designed by the magnificent Charlotte Perriand, the 523 Tabouret Meribel Stool was inspired by life in the mountains, and takes its name from Perriand's favorite locality in France, where she built herself a chalet, as well as other structures in the area. Made in Italy.
