Jacques Barsac
Norma, 2015

Charlotte Perriand is one of the most prominent figures of 20th century design. Alongside her contemporaries Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, she designed countless pieces, including the famous tilting chaise longue, considered to be masterpieces of furniture. Charlotte Perriand's complete work is divided into four volumes. This richly illustrated reference set (more than 5,000 images) sheds light on a very large number of innovations and allows us to precisely embrace the singular journey of this extraordinary creator. The first volume covers the period from 1903 to 1940 and looks back on Charlotte Perriand's youthful years: education, discovery of photography, the first development projects and the first furniture. It also helps to better understand the importance of his political commitment, determining in his artistic work. A true activist, Charlotte Perriand is passionate about prefabricated residential architecture, as evidenced by her architectural for leisure projects. It plays a decisive role in the emergence of a modern history of town planning, particularly within the UAM or the CIAM.
