Beginning in the 1940s, Perriand traveled extensively in Japan by invitation of the Japanese government with whom she worked as an advisor to modernize the country’s design. During this period, she took many photographs documenting traditional Japanese culture, many of which are published here for the first time. From 1952 to 1955, a fruitful collaboration with the Ateliers Jean Prouvé provided for the first time the technical means for Perriand to mass-produce her designs while also further improving Prouvé’s own work both aesthetically and practically. A number of emblematic masterpieces came about as a result of this collaboration, including the Tunisian and Mexican dormitories at the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCovering these important moments and many others, including Perriand’s work in Vietnam, in founding the Formes Utiles movement, and in further collaborations with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCharlotte Perriand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e continues the three-volume exploration of this key figure, complete with annotations and a bibliography for further research.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e528pp, 744 color, 441 illus.
