COOL CYCLE_22 - CHARLOTTE PERRIAND PERFORMANCE COLLECTION
IN HER LIFE, IN ITS FREE-SPIRITEDNESS, CHARLOTTE PERRIAND EMPLOYED A HIGHLY CONSCIOUS BALANCE OF WORK, LEISURE AND SPORT – WHICH WAS ESSENTIALLY MODERN IN THINKING.
SHE SAW FURNITURE OR CLOTHING, OR, INDEED, REALLY ALL INTERESTING PRODUCT DESIGN AS “EQUIPMENT.” THESE PRODUCTS FOR USE MAY BE ELEGANT, WHILE THEY CREATE THE BACKBONE OF FUNCTIONALITY.
THE PRACTICAL NOTION OF EQUIPPING A SPACE AS PART OF AN INTEGRATED SPATIAL PLAN –AS OPPOSED TO DECORATING IT – REMAINED CENTRAL TO PERRIAND’S THINKING, AND OURS.
SHE WORKED DILIGENTLY ON A WAY OF DESIGNING SPACE AND THEN INHABITING IT, AS A MEANS OF “L’ART D’HABITER.”
