Charlotte Perriand: Complete Works, Vol. 1 - 1903-1940. The first volume in a planned three-part series, this lavishly book looks at PerriandÕs early life: her education, her work in photography, her early interest in pre-fab residential architecture, and her years spent working with Le Corbusier at his studio on the Rue de Svres in Paris. While most are familiar with PerriandÕs game-changing design work, the book also documents her less widely known involvement with leftist groups and her desire for social change that drove her to create affordable and appealing furniture for the masses. Influenced by this and her participation in the International Congresses of Modern Architecture, Perriand turned in the 1930s to more inexpensive natural materials like cane and wood.
