Summary:

"A major figure of modernism in the 1930s and inextricably linked with the name of Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand was also a major protagonist of the organis forms of the 1950s. She was not only a pioneer of design in the twentieth century, but also a free spirited, generous woman with a fascinating story. We owe her credit for her design contributions promoting a very functional way of everyday life. Today, she has been rediscovered for much of her vital energy as for the simple, precise, natural shapes of her furniture and integrated spaces." --Publisher description.
