Together with her contemporaries and collaborators Pierre Jeanneret and Le Corbusier, she created many pieces of furniture we now consider classics, including the instantly recognizable LC4 chaise. Her pioneering work with metal was particularly instrumental in paving the way for the machine-age aesthetic popular throughout the 1920s and '30s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The first volume in a planned four-part series, this lavishly book looks at Perriand's 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 Sèvres in Paris. While most are familiar with Perriand's 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Complete with annotations and a bibliography for further research, \u003ci\u003eCharlotte Perriand\u003c\/i\u003e offers the first comprehensive book in English on this key figure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacques Barsac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3858817465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783858817464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scheidegger and Spiess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.20h x 9.50w x 1.60d","brand":"Jacques Barsac","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448039682303,"sku":"9783858817464","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1fb8ca41-56a0-4087-abb5-2a5f63a9f321.jpg?v=1777236487","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/charlotte-perriand-jacques-barsac-9783858817464","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
