Charlotte Perriand
French, 1903 - 1999
Paris-born in 1903, Charlotte Perriand studied at École de l'Union centrale des Arts décoratifs under influential teachers like Maurice Dufrêne. In her early career, she embraced industrial materials—steel and aluminum—showcasing her polished bar installation at the 1927 Salon d’Automne. Shortly after, she joined Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, pioneering tubular-steel furniture that defined machine-age modernism.
During the 1940s, Perriand relocated to Japan as an industrial-design advisor to the Japanese Ministry. There, she absorbed traditional craft—woodwork, weaving, bamboo techniques—and held exhibitions like “Selection, Tradition, Creation.” Detained by wartime conflict, her Asian experience profoundly shaped her post-war work, infusing natural materials and minimalist philosophy into her furniture and interior designs.
Perriand’s work consistently merged functional innovation with a deep respect for cultural heritage. From early steel-and-aluminum pieces to bamboo-infused seating and modular interiors, her output pushed boundaries between architecture, furniture, and art. Her prolific career spanned over seven decades, and her pieces—ranging from iconic LC series lounges to Origami-inspired chairs—continue to influence sustainable design and decorative arts worldwide. She passed away in 1999, leaving a legacy celebrated in major exhibitions and permanent collections.
