Charlotte Perriand Et Le Japon

Invited in 1940 by the Japanese government to guide the country's industrial art production, Perriand discovered a way of thinking, a way of life and an architecture in line with the modernist precepts she had defended with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. The exhibitions she organized in Japan, "Selection, Tradition, Creation" and "Proposition d'une synthese des arts", her publications, her furniture, and her creations in Tokyo and Paris bear witness to the links she forged between Western and Eastern cultures.
