CHARLOTTE PERRIAND COMPLETE WORKS VOLUME 1

“Charlotte Perriand: Complete Works. Volume 1: 1903-1940” by Jacques Barsac. Charlotte Perriand is one of the foremost figures in twentieth-century interior design. Her pioneering work with metal was particularly instrumental in paving the way for the machine-age aesthetic popular throughout the 1920s and '30s. The first volume in a planned four-part series, this lavishly book looks at Perriand’s early life: her education, her work in photography, her early interest in pre-fab residential architecture, and her years spent working with Le Corbusier at his studio on the Rue de Sèvres in Paris. Complete with annotations and a bibliography for further research, Charlotte Perriand offers the first comprehensive book in English on this key figure.
