Description: From the beginning of her career in the 1920s, as an assistant to Le Corbusier, French designer Charlotte Perriand was celebrated as one of the most exceptional talents of her generation—not to mention one of the “prettiest,” as French journalists couldn’t help noting. She became one of the architect’s closest collaborators, and their ten-year working relationship yielded some of the era’s iconic furniture designs. In this autobiography, she counts among her intimate friends some of the most innovative artists and designers of the 20th century, including Jean Prouvé, Fernand Léger, José Luis Sert, Pablo Picasso, and Walter Gropius.
