Design Feed - July 2025
2025-07-22 11:40 - 13:00 | Jackson Terminal, 213 W Jackson Ave, Knoxville, TN 37902, USA
This talk explores the work of Charlotte Perriand’s early career and its influence Le Corbusier’s vision of domestic living in the 1920s and early 1930s. It explores how changing gender identities and social conditions (such as women working and the so-called servant crisis) affected the atelier’s furniture and interior designs, examining in particular the impact of an emerging domestic reform movement in Germany and France (especially the writings of Paulette Bernège). One theme that will be considered is the new importance that the kitchen gained in the European modern architecture in the late 1920s. Perriand’s design of the Salon d’Automne apartment of 1929 will be discussed as a pivotal project.

We are no longer selling in-person tickets for this Design Feed to ensure that we have enough food and seats for attendees. If you’d like to attend this Design Feed, limited walk-ins are available (without a guarantee for food), or have a guaranteed digital seat via ZOOM.
