Saint Laurent, under the direction of Anthony Vaccarello, will unveil “Saint Laurent-Charlotte Perriand” at Milan Design Week from the 8th to the 13th of April at the Padiglione Visconti.
The exhibition presents four rare furniture designs by Charlotte Perriand, reproduced and issued in limited editions for the first time.
The pieces, originally created between 1943 and 1967, include the ‘Bibliothèque Rio de Janeiro’, ‘Fauteuil Visiteur Indochine’, and ‘Canapé de la Résidence de l’Ambassadeur du Japon’, all conceived for personal or diplomatic settings. The ‘Table Mille-Feuilles’, known only from a maquette on Perriand’s desk, has been realised at full scale for the first time.
This project reflects Saint Laurent’s ongoing commitment to heritage and design culture. It also pays tribute to Yves Saint Laurent’s long-standing appreciation for Perriand’s modernist vision, which he collected throughout his life.
Each of the four furniture pieces is available on a made-to-order basis. A catalogue and a special photography volume will be sold at the Saint Laurent Editions kiosk on Piazza San Babila. Simultaneously, photographic works by Perriand will be on display at Saint Laurent Babylone and Saint Laurent Rive Droite Paris in April and May.
