Charlotte Perriand design revisited at Cologne this year....


At this year’s imm cologne the Italian manufacturer presented the comprehensive re-edition of several Charlotte Perriand pieces for the first time to international public. Among them the ‘Ombra Tokyo’ chair from 1954. The lightweight and stackable chair is developed from a single die-pressed piece of curved ply. It was designed for in Japan for the ‘Synthèse des Arts’ exhibition (Le Corbusier, Férnand Léger, Charlotte Perriand).


Just shows classic design can still hold up in modern times...........
