THE SCHWOB LAMPS This applique (wall lamp) was conceived for the Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau presented during a decorative arts exhibition in 1924. It was then remade for the staircase of the Maison La Roche - a private house near Paris - in 1925.

Thanks to the peculiar shape of the snail shell, he can hide the light bulb and reflect it at the same time. The light flux is thus more subtle and not dazzlingly bright.

Thanks to Lucio Costa, she meets architects Oscar Niemeyer and Roberto Burle Max, who introduced her to the Tropicalism movement. It is a global cultural movement that takes the opposite of the West, mixing different disciplines such as music or furniture. He emerged in Brazil in 1967, during the period of military dictatorship (1964-1985), and aspired to revolutionize his time. It is for its actors to meet both unique climatic requirements, while using local materials, and adopting the typical forms of these countries of South America. Very inspired, Charlotte Perriand created furniture for her apartment and for some projects on the spot, taking the lines of her European furniture, but having them made in local woods (such as jacaranda, or Rio rosewood) with braiding of rushes or caning.

  • Guide to International Decorative Art Styles Displayed at Kirkland Museum
    1 Guide to International Decorative Art Styles Displayed at Kirkland Museum (by Hugh Grant, Founding Director and Curator, Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art) Kirkland Museum’s decorative art collection contains more than 15,000 objects which have been chosen to demonstrate the major design styles from the later 19th century into the 21st century. About 3,500 design works are on view at any one time and many have been loaned to other organizations. We are recognized as having one of the most important international modernist collections displayed in any North American museum. Many of the designers listed below—but not all—have works in the Kirkland Museum collection. Each design movement is certainly a confirmation of human ingenuity, imagination and a triumph of the positive aspects of the human spirit. Arts & Crafts, International 1860–c. 1918; American 1876–early 1920s Arts & Crafts can be seen as the first modernistic design style to break with Victorian and other fashionable styles of the time, beginning in the 1860s in England and specifically dating to the Red House of 1860 of William Morris (1834–1896). Arts & Crafts is a philosophy as much as a design style or movement, stemming from its application by William Morris and others who were influenced, to one degree or another, by the writings of John Ruskin and A. W. N. Pugin. In a reaction against the mass production of cheap, badly- designed, machine-made goods, and its demeaning treatment of workers, Morris and others championed hand- made craftsmanship with quality materials done in supportive communes—which were seen as a revival of the medieval guilds and a return to artisan workshops.

  • The Minimum House Designs of Pioneer Modernists Eileen Gray and Charlotte Perriand
    Athens Journal of Architecture - Volume 2, Issue 2 – Pages 151-168 The Minimum House Designs of Pioneer Modernists Eileen Gray and Charlotte Perriand By Starlight Vattano Giorgia Gaeta† The article deals with the study of two projects of Eileen Gray, an architect who had turned her perception of reality into formal delicacy and Charlotte Perriand, who was able to promote the emphasis of collective and rational living. The article proposes the analysis of some unbuilt Eileen Gray and Charlotte Perriand’s projects designed in response to the social problems arising in 1936. Their projects of minimum temporary houses are a manifesto through which they investigates other principles of the Modern Movement with the variety of composition of small spaces in relation to the inside well-being at the human scale. The redrawing practice, shown in this article as methodological training to enrich knowledge about the historiography of these two pioneers of Modern Movement allows improving existing data of modern architecture and especially about unbuilt projects here deepened and explicated through new and unpublished drawings. Introduction The period here analysed is characterized by the important innovative laws of the 1920’s and 1930’s. Indeed the French government had given more rights to the work-class and, for the first time, also paid holidays. Several architectural competitions were organized for the realization of leisure projects or, at a building scale, of minimum weekend houses through which, the last innovative technologies were experimented. Among the most important figures who worked through rigorous and sophisticated survey methodologies, were Eileen Gray and Charlotte Perriand, two of the women pioneers of the Modern Movement, who presented their vision of minimum architecture for leisure and holidays.

  • Charlotte Perriand the Modern Life
    Charlotte Perriand The Modern Life Large Print Guide Charlotte Perriand is one of the great designers of the twentieth century. Her furniture designs have become enduring classics, and her harmonious approach to modern interiors remains influential. This is the first retrospective of her work in the UK for twenty-five years, and draws on the Charlotte Perriand Archives in Paris to shed new light on her creative process. Born in 1903, Perriand was already being noticed as a talented designer in her early twenties. Joining the studio of the modernist architect Le Corbusier, she developed the steel-tube furniture pieces that would long bear his name alone. Elegantly radical, they would become icons of modernism. But it was when she rejected that approach, and made her love of nature central to her work, that she found her unique voice. At the heart of Perriand’s nearly seventy-year career was a desire to balance contrasting elements: craftsmanship and industrial production, urban and rural, East and West. Influenced by the sense of space in traditional Japanese interiors, she sought that openness and flexibility in her own – qualities that came to define modern living. Perriand designed at every scale, from stools to ski resorts, but above all she strove to make good design accessible to as many people as possible. 2 The Machine Age ‘I called it my ball-bearing necklace, a symbol of my adherence to the twentieth-century machine age. I was proud that my jewellery didn’t rival that of the Queen of England.’ Charlotte Perriand caused a stir in 1927 when she exhibited her ‘Bar sous le toit’ (Bar under the roof), designed for her own apartment in Saint-Sulpice, Paris.

    LC35 MAISON DU BRESIL Family LC Year of design 1959 Year of production 2018 A faithful reproduction of a student room in the Maison du Brésil, inaugurated in 1959 at the Cité Internationale of the University of Paris. In the early 1950s, the Brazilian government commissioned the design from the architect Lucio Costa, who in turn brought Le Corbusier on board, over time handing over more responsibility, to the point that the latter eventually signed off the building design. Le Corbusier’s office revised a number of key elements, and then brought in Charlotte Perriand to help with the interiors. The way Le Corbusier saw it, the wardrobe would separate the entrance hall and the bathroom block from the bedroom and study areas. Charlotte Perriand, on the other hand, took a more rationalist view, favouring the idea of having the wardrobe accessible from more than one side. For the bed frame, solid wood was preferred to metal, with a mattress and bolster. The apartment also included a wall-hung bookcase and blackboard, as well as the Tabouret Maison du Bresil, already available in Cassina Collection. Gallery Dimensions Designer Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, known as Le Corbusier, was born at La Chaux- de-Fonds, in the Swiss Jura, in 1887; he died in France, at Roquebrune- Cap-Martin, on the French Côte d’Azur, in 1965. Early in his career his work met with some resistance owing to its alleged «revolutionary» nature and the radical look it acquired from its «purist» experiments; in time , however, it won the recognition it deserved and it is still widely admired.

  • In Chandigarh, Pierre Jeanneret Had the Thankless Task of Supervising
    Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret in Chandigarh, India © FLC/ADAGP, 2016 Image provided by Kukje Gallery In Chandigarh, Pierre Jeanneret had the thankless task of supervising, step by step, the creation of the new capital city, of sticking to the plans and carrying them through when the path was difficult and strewn with obstacles. I am very appreciative of it and I owe him a huge debt of gratitude. - Le Corbusier As a part of the annual design exhibition program1, Kukje Gallery is pleased to present Swiss-Franco modernist, architect, and designer Pierre Jeanneret (1896-1967) in the exhibition Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret: Chandigarh, India, 1951-66. The exhibition will take place at the gallery’s K2 space from April 26 to May 29, 2016. As a celebrated architect and designer, Pierre Jeanneret pursued a progressive architectural philosophy that integrated design into everyday living. His ideas were practical yet driven by a refined aesthetic, and he expanded the boundaries of design in the 20th century, moving it beyond the privileged classes and improving peoples’ standards of living through innovation. Jeanneret is best known for his more than fifty-year collaboration with his cousin, the architect Le Corbusier, and their numerous high profile architectural projects such as Villa Savoye (1929), and the Pavillon Suisse of Cité Internationale Universitaire in Paris (1932-33). Palace of Assembly, Chandigarh, India. 2008 Photo: Ben Lepley, 2016 Image provided by Kukje Gallery Jeanneret also collaborated with his cousin and famous modernist architect Le Corbusier for fifty year on a variety of architectural projects. While introverted and sensitive compared to his more well-known and charismatic cousin Le Corbusier, Jeanneret was robust with imagination and also a skilled artisan.

    CHARLOTTE PERRIAND AND I Converging designs by Frank Gehry and Charlotte Perriand 22.05.2021 21.11.2021 Collateral Event of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia The Espace Louis Vuitton Venezia is pleased to announce the opening of its new exhibition, confronting the foundational works of eminent architects Charlotte Perriand and Frank Gehry. As part of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, this presentation has been produced in the framework of the Fondation Louis Vuitton “Hors-les-murs” programme. This programme, inaugurated in 2014, presents the international projects of the Fondation in the Espaces Louis Vuitton in Tokyo, Venice, Munich, Beijing, Seoul and Osaka, making them accessible to a broader public. Over the past century, developments in technology have increased the frequency with which we have reimagined the home. Technological advancements, together with changing social values, enabled architects to invent new solutions for the way we live. From industrial to digital technologies, each era has brought forth promises of architecture’s capacity to embody the times by embracing these innovations. Today, amidst an ecological crisis of our own making, we are attempting to house an unprecedented global population within boundaries that are in flux. The Espace Louis Vuitton Venezia presents the work of Charlotte Perriand and Frank Gehry as both historical references and as viable solutions for the issues confronting us today. Two of the projects are exhibited for the first time - Perriand’s Tritrianon project (1937) and Gehry’s Power Pack project (1969). In their respective times, Perriand and Gehry responded to the ideas of mobility, prefabrication, and efficiency and put forth ideas that redefined the home.

Pagu vol.2 no.se Campinas 2011 Bodies, chairs, necklaces: Charlotte Perriand and Lina Bo Bardi* Corpos, cadeiras, colares: Charlotte Perriand e Lina Bo Bardi Silvana Rubino ** ABSTRACT The article explores the crossroads of the trajectories of two professional women linked to the production of space: the Italian architect Lina Bo Bardi, who worked in Brazil, and the French designer Charlotte Perriand. The article begins by comparing two photographs and then investigates the performance of these two well-known professionals, their moments of exclusion and disqualification, as well as their successes, throughout their careers. As they both had long and diversified careers, we capture two moments when they produced their emblematic chairs, which they exhibited using their own bodies, albeit in a fairly anonymous way, as an ergonometric measure. Keywords: Lina Bo Bardi, Charlotte Perriand, Modernism, Domestic Space, Design. RESUMO O artigo investiga, a partir de duas fotografias, os pontos de encontro entre as trajetórias de duas profissionais ligadas à produção do espaço: a arquiteta italiana Lina Bo Bardi, que atuou no Brasil, e a designer francesa Charlotte Perriand. Tomando as imagens como mote, comparamos a atuação dessas duas profissionais de renome, os momentos de exclusão, desclassificacão e também de sucesso de suas carreiras. Como Lina e Charlotte tiveram trajetórias longas e diversificadas, flagramos apenas dois momentos, o da produção de cadeiras emblemáticas que elas exibiram usando, ainda que de modo pretensamente anônimo, seus corpos como medida ergonométrica.
