The exhibition at the MdM is the first major retrospective of Charlotte Perriand’s work in Austria. It encompasses her work in the fields of architecture, design and photography. After ten years as a young, up-and-coming architect and furniture designer, Charlotte Perriand (1903–1999, Paris, France) left Le Corbusier’s studio in 1937. There she was responsible for numerous furniture and interior design projects. Many of these are now considered icons of modern design and are highly sought-after collector’s items. At the same time, she successfully turned her hand to photography, which served as a source of inspiration for her and also became a design element in selected furniture designs.
Perriand’s thinking was holistic: she combined architecture, design and photography into a comprehensive design concept. Her works were never intended as autonomous objects, but rather as components of larger contexts of life. This makes Perriand one of the most influential figures in the history of 20th-century architecture and design.
