Charlotte Perriand (1903-99) is one of the foremost figures in twentieth-century interior design. Together with her contemporaries and collaborators, such as Pierre Jeanneret, Le Corbusier, and Jean Prouvé,she created many pieces of furniture we now consider classics, including the instantly recognizable LC4 chaise. Her pioneering work with metal was particularly instrumental in paving the way for the machine-age aesthetic popular throughout the 1920s and 1930s.
The concluding fourth volume of this definitive monograph on Charlotte Perriand covers the last three decades of her long career. At the core is the Les Arcs skiing resort in the French Alps, where Perriand played a key role in the project development, overseeing the architectural and urban design of Arc 1600 and Arc 1800, and creating the interiors and entire outfitting down to cutlery and china for the more than 4,500 apartments. The book also features a number of projects-housing and art spaces-betwee n Paris and Tokyo, in which she aimed once more to push the borders of a specific modern, cultivated way of living.
