Meeting with Pascale Nivelle about her book: Charlotte Perriand, la montagne inspirée (Charlotte Perriand, the inspired mountain)

Book signing with Pascale Nivelle, author of Charlotte Perriand, la montagne inspirée.

She has put her passion for the mountains at the service of her architectural creations:
a richly illustrated biography of a design icon.
Charlotte Perriand is a design icon in the image of her famous shepherd's stool. A visionary, she invented a new art of living in the 20th century: forms, furniture and spaces acclaimed the world over, which she designed in Le Corbusier's studio and then alone, against all odds, as far afield as Japan.
But it was in nature and the mountains that this gifted designer found her inspiration, as a child fascinated by the glaciers on the horizon, a passionate skier, a daring mountaineer and a hiker curious to meet the creators of villages and mountain pastures.
Pascale Nivelle has drawn on her exceptional collection of photos to tell the story of a committed, joyful woman, for whom the mountains were a perpetual "re-creation".
