Charlotte Perriand

(French, 1903–1999)

Charlotte Perriand was a French architect and designer known for her iconic Modernist furniture. A colleague to Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Jean Prouvé, Perriand collaborated with the designers early in her career. Her series of tubular steel chairs brought her critical acclaim, as did her inventive design of the chaise longue. “The only advice I would give would be to stay within the reality of things, that is, the execution, the concrete,” she once said. “And then, she would have to make herself known, produce little things, show them, etc.” Born on October 24, 1903 in Paris, France, Perriand studied at the École de l'Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs from 1920–1925. She subscribed to Le Corbusier’s philosophy about domestic space—fully integrating each component with the whole—and developed ideas for prefabrication and the flexible use of space. Utilizing new industrial materials and technology, as well as embracing natural components with traditional processes, Perriand revolutionized the look of 20th-century interior design. She died on October 27, 1999 in Paris, France at the age of 96. Today, the designer’s works are included in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Design Museum in London, and the Center Georges Pompidou, among others.
