Doron Hotel Armchair

Doron Hotel Armchair by Charlotte Perriand for Cassina embodies the designer’s profound connection to the mountains and natural world. Originally designed in 1947 for the Méribel Les Allues ski resort and the Hôtel Doron—one of the first chalet-hotels in the French Alps—this iconic piece reflects Perriand’s pioneering exploration of the relationship between humans and their environment.

The armchair’s substantial yet elegant frame, crafted from solid ashwood or American walnut in select finishes, creates a warm, inviting presence that speaks to both luxury and comfort. Its soft, simple lines and generous proportions offer an exceptional seating experience that remains as relevant today as when it was first conceived. The thoughtful construction features a canvas PVC and polyester self-supporting fabric seat structure with a thermoformed plastic panel backrest, all padded with polyurethane foam wrapped in light velvet for exceptional comfort.

Available in premium fabric, leather, or saddle leather upholstery options from the Cassina Collections, the Doron Hotel Armchair pairs beautifully with the Table à Plateau Interchangeable, also designed by Perriand. For those seeking to extend their living space outdoors, a solid teak version with waterproof padding is also available, allowing this timeless design to enhance interior and exterior environments with its natural sophistication.
