Charlotte Perriand wurde 1903 in Paris geboren und studierte später an der Schule der „Union Central des Arts Décoratifs“. Inspiriert von den architektonischen Abhandlungen Le Corbusiers überzeugte sie diesen im Jahre 1927, sie für ihn arbeiten zu lassen. Ihre Aufgaben waren die Produktion von Prototypen und öffentliche Präsentationen der Studioentwürfe. Zusammen mit Pierre Jeanneret entwickelte Perriand eine Reihe von Stahlrohrstühlen, die - damals wie heute - als Symbol des Maschinenzeitalters galten und gelten.

1940 reiste sie als offizielle Beraterin für Industriedesign nach Japan, saß jedoch, nachdem Japan in den Krieg eingetreten war, von 1942 bis 1946 in Vietnam fest. Die Zeit ihres Exiles nutzte Perriand, um lokale Web- und Holzarbeittechniken zu erlernen. So hatte sie bei ihrer Rückkehr nach Frankreich die Absicht Stroh und Bambus in modernes Design zu integrieren.

Zurück in Frankreich arbeitete Perriand weiter mit Le Corbusier und Prouvé. Sie trug einen erheblichen Teil zu Le Corbusiers Design Unité d’Habitation in Marseille bei. Bis zu ihrem Tod im Jahr 1999 blieb Perriand eine einflussreiche Persönlichkeit der Moderne.

About the Creator

Charlotte Perriand

Born in Paris in 1903, Charlotte Perriand studied at the Ecole de l’Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs. In 1927, inspired by his architectural treatises, Perriand persuaded Le Corbusier to employ her. He put her in charge of prototype production and public presentations of the studio’s work. In collaboration with Pierre Jeanneret, Perriand developed a series of tubular steel chairs, which were—and are still today—hailed as icons of the machine age.

In 1940, she travelled to Japan as an official advisor on industrial design. When Japan joined the war, she found herself trapped in Vietnam from 1942 until 1946. During her exile, Perriand studied local techniques of woodwork and weaving. She returned to France intent on introducing straw and bamboo to modern design.

Back in France, Perriand continued her work with Le Corbusier and Prouvé. She was integral to the design of Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseille. She remained an influential figure in the modern movement until her death in 1999.
