Charlotte Perriand is undoubtedly a fundamental figure in the history of Modern design, the hand behind iconic pieces still present in production and in mass design culture. Despite the long time spent in the shade of the critical light of Le Corbusier, being too often associated in narrations to him and Pierre Jeanneret, having her authorial designs attributed to the sole Swiss architect, Perriand has had a long and articulated career, awarded in its last years with a general recognition of her as an independent author. Her work has encompassed a multiplicity of fields, including product design, furniture design, interior design and interior architecture, consequently influencing the final shape of several buildings.
