Artist to Know Charlotte Perriand & Pierre Jeanneret
                     Leading French 
innovators in furniture 
history and auction, 
Charlotte Perriand & 
Pierre Jeanneret
At 24 years old, Charlotte Perriand strolled into the studio of legendary furniture 
designer Le Corbusier and requested a task. She was told, "We don't weave pads 
here," and sent away. Regardless of this rough beginning, Perriand would ultimately 
consolidate powers with Le Corbusier and his cousin, Pierre Jeanneret, to 
characterize cutting edge Modernism in furnishings. Perriand and Jeanneret have 
since been perceived in both furniture history and at sell off as driving French trend-
setters. 
 
A piece planned by Perriand and Jeanneret was into Wright's auction of the Mark 
Isaacson and Greg Nacozy Collection. 
During World War II, Jeanneret and Perriand 
joined the French Resistance while Le 
Corbusier upheld the Vichy government. This 
successfully finished their cooperative 
endeavours for quite a while, except for 
making pre-assembled aluminium structures 
with Jean Prouvé and Georges Blanchon. 
Perriand ultimately moved to Japan and 
afterward Vietnam, while Jeanneret re-joined 
with his cousin during the 1950s to start a 
metropolitan arranging project in Chandigarh, 
India. 
In spite of the fact that the two fashioners 
were to a great extent eclipsed by Le 
Corbusier during the twentieth century, they 
have since acquired consideration for their 
individual commitments to Modernism. 
Jeanneret gave the remainder of his working a 
long time to the Chandigarh project, portrayed 
today as "a magnum opus of present day 
vision."
