A richly illustrated biography of a design icon. Charlotte Perriand is a design icon, just like her famous shepherd's stool. A visionary, she invented a new art of living in the 20th century: shapes, furniture, and spaces acclaimed worldwide, which she designed in Le Corbusier's studio and then alone, against all odds, and as far away as Japan. But it was in nature and the mountains that this gifted designer found her inspiration, as a child fascinated by glaciers on the horizon, a passionate skier, a daring mountaineer, and a hiker curious to meet the creators of villages and mountain pastures.
Pascale Nivelle drew on her exceptional collection of photos to tell the story of the life of a committed, joyful woman, for whom the mountains were a perpetual "re-creation".
