Set of 12 Maison Regain Chairs, designed by Roland Haeusler, from the La Cascade residence, Les Arcs
These chairs, with their distinctly Cubist design, were created by Roland Haeusler (winner of the René Gabriel Prize in 1973) and produced by Maison Regain. They are made of solid wood with a honey stain. The backrest, formed by two wide horizontal crossbars, and the seat, split into two slightly curved, adjoining slats, create a clean, geometric silhouette, typical of the formal vocabulary of mountain architecture from the 1960s and 70s. The straight legs and uprights, assembled without embellishment, reinforce this architectural interpretation of the chair.
These chairs come from the furnishings of the La Cascade residence, a complex of terraced apartments in the Les Arcs 1600 ski resort in Savoie.
This piece was selected by Charlotte Perriand in 1969 to furnish her holiday accommodations, alongside other Haeusler creations chosen for the entire site. It thus became part of the grand adventure of the development of Les Arcs, an emblematic project of French mountain design spearheaded by Perriand.
