『シャルロット・ペリアン：モダンライフ』

The chapter on her early years and the Le Corbusier rejection alone is worth the price—it frames her entire philosophy so clearly. I’ve read a lot of design books, but this one feels less like a catalog and more like a real story about how she thought about society.

I was really struck by how much of a pioneer she was, especially since the book details her early work with aluminum and tubular steel. The section on her role in the Union des Artistes Modernes adds a great layer of context. It’s a dense but rewarding read for anyone serious about 20th-century desi

The way this book traces her journey from that early Le Corbusier rejection through her radical belief in design for social good is genuinely inspiring, and the photography alone makes it worth the price. I’ve already dog-eared half the pages for reference in my own studio.
