Enameled Summit
For this exhibition dedicated to mountain furniture, we are very pleased to present a selection of rare pieces by Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret, commissioned in part for mountain hotels in the French Alps, between 1940 and 1970. We also have a collection of enameled metal panels and objects by Charlotte Perriand, rarely presented on the antique market.
The "Enameled" exhibition will offer a more intimate glimpse into Charlotte Perriand's work in interior design for mountain settings.
The enameling workshop in Saint-Maurice, in the Val-de-Marne, handled Charlotte Perriand’s commissions. But in 1970, due to financial constraints related to the progress of the Arc 1600 project, Roger Godino asked her to stop using this furniture. The manufacturing cost was too high. It would be replaced by lacquered metal, lacquered wood, or polyester.
