Charlotte Perriand



Spending over a decade in Le Corbusier's studio as her time as a designer, Perriand was strongly influenced by the aesthetics of the 'machine age' and invested her creativity strongly in the uses of glass and metals within her designs of products and interiors.
Other influences to have touched her in later years came about in her travels in Asia during World War II when she became stuck in Japan when they joined Germany as allies. Her time there tought her local techniques and skills, which she later took inspiration from after the war.
