The French designer Charlotte Perriand won instant acclaim for her design for the “Bar sous le toit” (bar in the garret) in 1927 – then only twenty-four years old -, shown at the Salon d’Automne in Paris. The project brought her to the attention of Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, who asked Perriand to join their atelier. Passionate about mountains and nature, she was one of the architects and interior designers of the ski station Les Arcs, in Savoie. Throughout her career, Charlotte Perriand focused her research on the relationship between man and his environment. In this way she created furniture which is comfortable, functional, but also recognizable and timeless.
