Charlotte Perriand is one of the most influential figures in 20th-century design. Alongside her contemporaries Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, she designed countless pieces, including the famous Chaise Longue Basculante, considered masterpieces of furniture. The complete works of Charlotte Perriand are divided into four volumes. This richly illustrated reference collection (more than 5,000 images) sheds light on a large number of innovations and provides a precise overview of the unique career of this extraordinary designer. The first volume covers the period from 1903 to 1940 and revisits Charlotte Perriand's early years: education, discovery of photography, first development projects, and first pieces of furniture. It also provides a better understanding of the importance of her political commitment, which was a determining factor in her artistic work. A true activist, Charlotte Perriand was passionate about prefabricated residential architecture, as evidenced by her leisure architecture projects. It plays a decisive role in the emergence of a modern history of urban planning, particularly within the UAM or the CIAM.
