Charlotte PERRIAND

Charlotte Perriand was a French architect and designer, born on 24 October 1903 and died on 27 October 1999. Perriand is regarded as one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. From the early decades of the century, she promoted a renewal of aesthetic values and contributed to a distinctly modern sensibility in everyday life. Perriand brought a fresh vision to furniture design by removing elements that seemed superfluous. This vision was influenced by her 6-year stay in Japan, where she was inspired by the simplicity and elegance of Japanese design, as well as by her passion for the mountains. Perriand is famous for creating understated furniture directly inspired by the mountains and Japan. With a deep interest in winter sports and mountain life, she was entrusted with the development of high mountain accommodation, including the resort of Les Arcs, from 1967 to 1986. After studying at the Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs school, Perriand collaborated with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret on avant-garde research into home furnishings. Their collaborations include the House of Mexico library, the Méribel chairs, and the Cansado enfilade, which have become iconic pieces in modern design. A free and passionate woman, Perriand also left her mark on the history of design through her personality, travels, and her special relationship with nature. From 1955 to 1960, she was the artistic director, along with Jean Prouvé, of the Galerie Steph Simon in Paris, where their work was showcased. She collaborated there with designers like Serge Mouille. Cassina, a prominent design company, has been publishing furniture by Charlotte Perriand since 2004. One of her most famous pieces is the Tabouret Berger, first shown in 1955 at the Synthèse des Arts exhibition in Tokyo. This piece is part of a series inspired by the reinterpretation of local architecture in the Alps and has become one of Perriand's bestsellers. Her professional career also included collaborations with leading French administrations, companies like Air France, and international institutions, cementing her legacy as a globally renowned designer.
