Exhibition: Charlotte Perriand: The Modern Life
This will be the second high profile exhibition the Design Museum has launched since reopening post-lockdown (we covered the first, Sneakers Unboxed, last month). Charlotte Perriand: The Modern Life is a retrospective on the French interior designer, whose modernist work was pioneering in the 20
th century.
While her early career was frequently overshadowed by male peers annd collaborators, the museum says her later reputation as a furniture designer “matched the stature of her peers”. The exhibition will be split into three sections: The Machine Age, Nature and the Synthesis of the Arts, and Modular Design for Modern Living. It will invite visitors to step inside recreations of some of her most famous interiors, while exploring her life as a “fiercely independent woman”.
