A design monograph series on the most remarkable architects,
designers, brands and design movements of the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries, each book contains a historical-critical essay discussing the
life and work of the subject, followed by an illustrated appreciation of
groundbreaking work.
French architect and designer Charlotte Perriand not only created
buildings such as the League of Nations in Geneva and ski resorts but
was responsible for iconic furniture pieces in tubular steel, such as
the Nuage bookshelf, Grand Confort chair (while working for Le
Corbusier), B301 recliner and the ponyskin Chaise Longue.
