Charlotte Perriand: The Art of Dwelling
About this book
Charlotte Perriand: The Art of Dwelling is a monograph on one of the central figures of modern design, for design students, furniture designers, and readers interested in modernist living. Edited by Katia Baudin and Waleria Dorogova and published by Hatje Cantz in 2026, the 272-page English-language paperback accompanies the retrospective shown at Kunstmuseen Krefeld, Museum der Moderne Salzburg, and Fundació Joan Miró. It is presented as the first major monograph on Perriand in twenty years and follows her work from the steel furniture of the late 1920s to the alpine architecture of Les Arcs.

For coursework, the book shows how Perriand treated design as a social and cultural practice rather than a style. Archival material, historical photographs, and newly translated manifestos reveal her thinking on dwelling, ecology, and modular living. Students can use it to study the link between furniture, interiors, and architecture, and her collaborations with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. On a university reading list, it works as a monograph that places a major woman designer within the history of modern design.
