Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) is considered as one of the most innovative interior architects and furniture designers of the 20th century. She developed designs for tubular steel furniture, particularly in cooperation with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. Beginning in the early 1930s, she discovered photography as a medium that provided important impulses for her work as a whole. She also employed the photographic medium for large-format collages with social and political messages.
