Charlotte Perriand was a French architect and designer. Her work aimed to create functional living spaces in the belief that better design helps in creating a better society. Her approach to design includes taking in the site and appreciating it for what it is. Perriand felt she connected with any site she was working with or just visiting she enjoyed the living things and would reminisce on a site that was presumed dead. Charlotte Perriand designed furniture in anodised aluminium and chromed steel, which she presented at the Salon d'Automne in Paris in 1927. After meeting Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand worked with him and Pierre Jeanneret until 1937. The revolutionary tubular steel and system furniture designed by the three artists was presented as "Equipement de l'habitation" at the 1929 Salon d'Automne, where it was widely acclaimed. In 1930, the Union des Artistes Modernes (UAM) was founded in Paris, a group which saw itself as a counter-movement to establishment organisations such as the Salon d'Automne, and which also advocated Art Deco and Modernism. From 1931, Charlotte Perriand exhibited her own solo works there. In 1937, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret collaborated on the design of an aluminium sheet mountain chalet, which they presented at the Exposition internationale des arts et techniques dans la vie moderne. In 1940, Charlotte Perriand became a design advisor to the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. She lived in Japan until 1946.
