Charlotte Perriand belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Charlotte Perriand as French architect and designer (1903-1999).
Charlotte Perriand was born at 1st arrondissement of Paris in 1903. Her recorded nationality is France.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
She worked as architect, designer and interior architect.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
That the work was done from France matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Charlotte Perriand died in 1999, aged 96. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
