Charlotte Perriand (1903-99) is undoubtedly one of the most
significant figures in 20th-century interior design. She was one of
the pioneers in introducing the metal tube as building material for
furniture, paving the way for machine age aesthetic in interiors in
the 1920s and 1930s. Together with Le Corbusier and Pierre
Jeanneret she created a number of iconic classics, such as the
chaise-longue LC4, the armchair LC2, or the sling chair LC1. This
second part of the new three-volume monograph on Perriand covers
the period 1940-55 with her extensive stays in Japan 1942-42 and
1953-55, and with her designs for the reconstruction in France
after WW II. It also investigates extensively her collaboration
with Jean Prouve 1952-55. Moreover, the new volume looks at her
work together with with Jeanneret and again also Le Corbusier
during the 1950s, and it documents Perriand's involvement and role
in founding the Useful Forms movement in 1949. The book features
again an abundance of images and documents, mostly in colour and
many of them previously unpublished. Charlotte Perriand: Complete
Works is the authoritative source on this key figure of
20th-century interior design for scholars, dealers, and collectors.
Each of the three lavishly illustrated volumes is completed by
annotations, index, and bibliography.
