Cult Presents ‘Charlotte Perriand – An Icon of Modernity’ Exhibition in Sydney & Melbourne.

To celebrate the anniversary 50th anniversary of the iconic LC Collection, Cult presents the exhibition “Charlotte Perriand – An Icon of Modernity” in their Sydney and Melbourne showrooms from September-October, 2015.

One of the most influential furniture designers of the early modern movement, Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) was a French architect and designer who aimed to create functional living spaces in the belief that better design helps in creating a better society. Perriand introduced the ‘modernist’ aesthetic to interiors in the steel, aluminium and glass furniture she created at Le Corbusier’s architectural studio in the late 1920s and 1930s.

The exhibition “Charlotte Perriand – An Icon of Modernity” presents a curated selection of furniture designed by Charlotte Perriand complemented by exclusive photographs and sketches never before seen by the public.

Coinciding with the Charlotte Perriand exhibition at Cult’s Melbourne and Sydney showroom, her daughter Pernette Perriand-Barsac will give a design lecture at UTS to reflect on her mother’s oevre and design legacy on 16 September, 2016. For over a quarter of a century, Pernette Perriand-Barsac worked alongside her mother as her personal assistance. Since her mother’s passing Pernette and her husband, Jacques Barsac, have dedicated themselves to keeping the legacy of Charlotte Periand alive through curating exhibitions, authoring books and launching new design collaborations.

‘Charlotte Perriand – An Icon of Modernity” will be open in Melbourne from 15 September-15 October and Sydney from 17 September-15 October, 2015.
