GALERIE PATRICK SEGUIN<\/strong> presents
an exceptional collaboration between
SAINT LAURENT<\/strong> and CHARLOTTE PERRIAND<\/strong> estate
curated by ANTHONY VACCARELLO<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For this singular presentation, the gallery will showcase four remarkable pieces of furniture by Charlotte Perriand from this exceptional collaboration.<\/p>\n

Designed between 1943 and 1967, some as one-offs, others that remained prototypes, these pieces have been selected by Anthony Vaccarello to be produced in a very limited edition, distributed exclusively by Galerie Patrick Seguin.<\/p>\n

Each piece has been meticulously reproduced using archive drawings, original models or one-off pieces. In the care taken over selecting materials and the commitment of highly skilled craftsmanship, this collection faithfully represents Charlotte Perriand\u2019s original vision. <\/p>\n

The partnership between Saint Laurent and Charlotte Perriand is the latest example of Saint Laurent\u2019s commitment to heritage, seeking to bring major pieces of design culture to a wider public. It also pays tribute to Yves Saint Laurent\u2019s admiration for the work of Charlotte Perriand, whose pure modernity echoed his own creations. He collected her pieces throughout his life, while Pierre Berg\u00e9 backed major international retrospectives of her work. <\/p>\n

This exhibition is part of Galerie Patrick Seguin\u2019s continued work to promote the major figures of 20th-century design. By highlighting furniture design that is both rigorous and unrestrained, it reaffirms the spirit of Charlotte Perriand\u2019s creativity, fully revived by Anthony Vaccarello\u2019s vision. <\/p>\n

RIO DE JANEIRO BOOKCASE, 1962-2025<\/strong>
Materials: Rosewood, cane
h. 260 x l. 455 x d. 43 cm
Limited edition of 8 ex. <\/p>\n

This distinctive bookcase was conceived to display works of art alongside books. Designed in Rio de Janeiro in 1962 for Jacques Martin, Charlotte Perriand\u2019s husband, it was originally intended to be used in the reception area of his apartment. <\/p>\n

Made from typically Brazilian solid rosewood, the \u2018Biblioth\u00e8que Rio de Janeiro\u2019 is characterised by its imposing dimensions and regal construction. The sliding doors are made of woven cane, a local folk craft technique used to make the shades of traditional houses which Charlotte Perriand discovered during a trip to Brazil. <\/p>\n

The unique existing model of the \u2018Biblioth\u00e8que Rio de Janeiro\u2019 currently belongs to a private collection. While a legendary piece of design, over the past twenty-five years it has only been exhibited three times in Paris: at the Centre Pompidou, the Petit Palais, and the Fondation Louis Vuitton. The creation of a limited edition as part of the Saint Laurent\u2013Charlotte Perriand collection offers the opportunity to bring Charlotte Perriand\u2019s works of art to a wider audience. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

SOFA FOR THE JAPANESE AMBASSADOR\u2019S RESIDENCE IN PARIS, 1967-2025<\/strong>
Materials: Rosewood, cane, Jim Thompson Thai silk
h. 86 x l. 705 x d. 86 cm
Limited edition of 8 ex. <\/p>\n

In 1966, Japanese architect Junz\u00f4 Sakakura was commissioned by the Japanese government to design a new residence for the Japanese ambassador in Paris. He entrusted his friend Charlotte Perriand with the interior architecture and furniture design. Once again, she was to reveal her in-depth knowledge of Japan. <\/p>\n

For the large reception room, she designed a monolithic five-seater sofa whose prestige and solemnity structured the space architecturally. This majestic work consists of an over seven metre-long base that curves upwards on either side of the seating. Resting on four set-back legs, the sofa appears to float above the ground, while the caning on its flanks creates an impression of lightness. <\/p>\n

Developing this exceptional and unique piece demanded a great deal of work from Charlotte Perriand at the time.
Nearly sixty years later, the Japanese Embassy in Paris helped to identify every detail of this banquette so that it could be manufactured once more, in limited numbers. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

INDOCHINA GUEST ARMCHAIR, 1943-2025<\/strong>
Materials: Rosewood, chromed tube, leather
h. 75 x l. 58 x d. 82 cm
Limited edition of 30 ex. <\/p>\n

Following her mission as advisor to the Japanese government on industrial art (August 1940\u2013August 1941), Charlotte Perriand headed for Indochina, unable to reach the USA or Europe because of the war. In 1943, she was appointed director of crafts and applied arts in Indochina. <\/p>\n

At a time when disaster was sweeping through the Asia-Pacific region, Charlotte Perriand started a family with Jacques Martin, who was director of economic affairs of Indochina. She designed several pieces of furniture for their personal use, including a guest armchair, of which only the drawing remains. <\/p>\n

Eighty years on, the Saint Laurent\u2013Charlotte Perriand collection has recreated this elegant chair\u2014once lost in Indochina\u2014with its seat crowned by a traditional Thai cushion composed of mats sewn together edge-to-edge. Combining modernity with a vernacular element, this design exudes a timeless charm. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

MILLE-FEUILLES TABLE, 1963-2025<\/strong>
Materials: Rosewood, cherrywood
h. 41 x \u00f8 140 cm
Tabletop thickness: 8 cm
Limited edition of 30 ex <\/p>\n

Designed in 1963, the \u2018Table Mille-Feuilles\u2019 comprises ten superimposed layers of two different varieties of wood, one light and one dark. Its circular top is bevelled around the edges and recessed in the centre to form concentric circles. <\/p>\n

Although a reduced-scale model was made, which Charlotte Perriand kept on her desk for the rest of her life, the \u2018Table Mille-Feuilles\u2019 was never actually manufactured, as machining the top proved too difficult.<\/p>\n

This table is an exceptionally original piece, bearing witness to Charlotte Perriand\u2019s creative genius. Made from the finest wood and in only thirty copies, each \u2018Table Mille-Feuilles\u2019 is unique owing to the wood\u2019s grain and the patterns created by the shaping process. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
