Charlotte Perriand, The Art of Dwelling

Architecture, Design and the Ecological Vision of a Modern Icon The exhibition catalogue Charlotte Perriand. The Art of Dwelling examines one of the central figures of modern design and reassesses the lasting significance of her work for contemporary discourse. Charlotte Perriand understood design as a cultural and social practice. Engaging closely with architecture, craftsmanship, and industrial production, she developed a spatial philosophy that unites functionality, formal clarity, and social responsibility. For Perriand, dwelling was not a style but an attitude. This richly illustrated volume is published on the occasion of the international retrospective presented at Kunstmuseen Krefeld, Museum der Moderne Salzburg, and Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona.
