Charlotte Perriand. The Art of Dwelling

A Pioneer of Modernism

This groundbreaking and comprehensive monograph on Charlotte Perriand celebrates one of the most influential designers and architects of the 20th century—and reveals the striking relevance of her work today. Featuring newly translated manifestos written over five decades, original research, and previously unpublished material from her archive in Paris, this book presents a portrait of a visionary who imagined living spaces beyond geographic, political, and temporal boundaries. From her collaboration with Le Corbusier tot he landmark alpine architecture Les Arcs, it becomes clear how Perriand drew on cultural traditions and technological innovation to understand design as a social mission. Her legacy stands for commitment, ecological responsibility, and a deep belief in the potential of design in shaping a better future.
