Laffanour: Downtown Style
A visual celebration of the French gallery that helped popularize furniture by architects from Le Corbusier to Ron Arad Over the last 40 years, the Laffanour Galerie Downtown Paris, founded by François Laffanour, has cemented a reputation for itself as a major reference point in 20th-century European and American design. Laffanour popularized what was once a niche field: furniture made by architects. Since its opening in the early 1980s, the gallery has organized numerous thematic and monographic exhibitions on several iconic designers, notably Charlotte Perriand, Serge Mouille, Jean Prouvé, Le Corbusier, Ettore Sottsass, Ron Arad, Isamu Noguchi, Choï Byung, Pierre Jeanneret and Jeanne Royère. Downtown Stylecelebrates Laffanour's several decades of top-quality curation. An interview with François Laffanour conducted by French design historian Anne Bony is featured alongside countless images from the gallery's exhibitions in which entire living spaces were intricately recreated. The book also features images of Laffanour's booths at internationally renowned art fairs.
Living with Charlotte Perriand
Charlotte Perriand (24 October 1903 - 27 October 1999) was a French architect and designer. Her work aimed to create functional living spaces in the belief that better design helps in creating a better society. In her article "L'Art de Vivre" from 1981 she states, "The extension of the art of dwelling is the art of living-living in harmony with man's deepest drives and with his adopted or fabricated environment." Charlotte liked to take her time in a space before starting the design process. Her approach to design includes taking in the site and appreciating it for what it is. Perriand connected with any site she was working with or just visiting she enjoyed the living things and would reminisce on a site that was presumed dead. She is well known for the playful way in which she mixed and superposed materials and styles in most of the furniture she created during her career. Nonetheless, one of the most essential influence on her entire work has been the Japanese craftmanship that kept on inspiring her.
