Artists in conversation
Jean Prouvé
French · b. 1901
Prouvé shared Perriand's commitment to functional modernist furniture design, creating chairs and stools that prioritized honest use of materials and industrial production methods. His seating pieces reflect the same philosophy of practical elegance found in the Berger stools.
Pierre Jeanneret
Swiss · b. 1896
Jeanneret was a close collaborator with Perriand and shared her modernist approach to furniture design, producing functional seating pieces that balanced structural simplicity with human comfort. His work reflects the same restrained aesthetic vocabulary seen in these tall stools.
Hans Wegner

Wegner created functional modernist seating with a focus on craftsmanship and practical design principles that closely mirrors Perriand's sensibility in the Berger stools. His approach to form following function in seating furniture aligns directly with the design philosophy evident in this work.
