Une Vie de Creation – “A Life of Creation” – is the title of the great designer Charlotte Perriand‘s autobiography, a book as exuberant, full of the joys of living, as the author herself. She was one of humanity’s outstanding energisers, a true creator of new forms, new materials, and a pioneer in the use of industrial materials to achieve graceful, forceful and very witty works to benefit our everyday existence with their sly charm and mischievous misappropriation of unexpected forms and fabrics in utterly appropriate ways.
