At Milan Design Week, Saint Laurent, under Anthony Vaccarello's direction, will present a selection of furniture by Charlotte Perriand, highlighting her revolutionary designs from 1943 to 1967. This exhibition, titled Saint Laurent-Charlotte Perriand, features four significant works for the first time in full-scale editions, providing an exceptional glimpse into her influence on modernist aesthetics. Notable pieces include a stunning five-seat sofa crafted to appear weightless and a unique bookcase designed to blend books and art. The event underscores Perriand's creative legacy and marks an important collaboration with the Japanese Embassy in Paris.
The exhibition, Saint Laurent-Charlotte Perriand, showcases four works by the pioneering 20th-century designer - each produced for the first time in full-scale editions.
One of the key pieces, La Banquette de la Résidence de l'Ambassadeur du Japon à Paris, achieves an illusion of floating despite its considerable weight, showcasing Perriand's innovative design.
La Bibliothèque Rio de Janeiro bookcase has remained largely unseen, its original version exhibited only three times over the past twenty-five years, emphasizing its exclusiveness.
La Table Mille-Feuilles is finally being produced in full scale after existing solely as a model for decades, highlighting Perriand's influential design legacy.
