Although he is not unknown in Brittany, the name of Joseph Savina (1901-1983) is not always associated with the incomparable artistic adventure of which he was a fervent participant for 40 years.
A furniture carpenter by vocation, he also became the sculptor of the architect Le Corbusier.
His "Celtic art workshop," established in Tréguier in 1929, quickly became a center for the modernization of furniture, particularly Breton furniture. By 1969, he had up to ten workers and produced nearly 4,000 pieces of sturdy, sculpted furniture, from the furniture of the Seiz Breur family to contemporary sculptures by Le Corbusier, with whom he exchanged nearly 300 letters and a close friendship lasting 20 years.
The book publishes and examines Le Corbusier's forty sculptures, along with around thirty sketches, drawings and sketches that help us understand their genesis, as well as around ten letters between Le Corbusier and Savina. This work is supported by the Fondation Le Corbusier (Paris).
