Newly translated and never-before-published materials from Perriand's personal archive offer an intimate look at the modernist designer beloved by generations
Guided by a humanistic philosophy that intertwined people, nature and art, Charlotte Perriand (1903-99) championed social progress through designs that were both functional and beautiful. Always navigating the balance between tradition and innovation, industry and nature, her approach to practical, forward-thinking living spaces continues to inspire generations of creatives worldwide. Her legacy stands for commitment, ecological responsibility and a deep belief in the potential of design in shaping a better future. This groundbreaking and comprehensive monograph 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 Featuring newly translated manifestos written over five decades, original research and previously unpublished material from Perriand's Paris archive, The Art of Dwelling presents a portrait of a visionary who imagined living spaces beyond geographic, political, and temporal boundaries. From her collaboration with Le Corbusier to the landmark alpine architecture Les Arcs, it becomes clear how Perriand drew on cultural traditions and technological innovation to understand design as a social mission.
