An important figure of modernism in the 1930s and the principal protagonist of organic design in the 1950s Charlotte Perriand was a true 20th century pioneer. Although her name has long been inseparable from that of Le Corbusier in this volume Charlotte Perriand is brought to a new light as her vital energy as well as the simple rigorous and natural forms of her furniture and integrated spaces are examined. Ultimately this is the portrait of a free and generous woman with a fascinating and active life whose accomplishments continue to embellish our everyday life.
