The first accessible, pocket art history book on the most well-known 20th-century female French designer.

Architect, furniture designer, and a major figure in the history of modernism, Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) devoted her life to the art of living. Sharing the ideas of Le Corbusier, with whom she collaborated for many years, she nevertheless developed her own vision, establishing her status as a major player in the design world.
