SAINT LAURENT X PERRIAND: #DESIGN REBORN
Milan. Saint Laurent, under the visionary creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello, is set to redefine the intersection of fashion and design with an exclusive exhibition honoring the pioneering work of Charlotte Perriand. This highly anticipated showcase will take place from April 8–13 at Padiglione Visconti in Milan, coinciding with Milan Design Week.
The Saint Laurent – Charlotte Perriand exhibition will feature four exceptional furniture designs by the iconic French architect and designer, spanning from 1943 to 1967. These pieces, carefully selected by Vaccarello, had previously only existed as prototypes or sketches. Now, Saint Laurent has meticulously brought them to life, reproducing them in limited editions, offering a rare opportunity to engage with Perriand’s forward-thinking aesthetic in a new and immersive setting.
A Tribute to Innovation and Vision
Perriand, a trailblazer in modernist design, was known for her radical approach to functional beauty and her ability to merge art with architecture. The selected works in this exhibition embody her progressive vision and reaffirm her influence on contemporary design. By breathing life into these once-theoretical pieces, Saint Laurent not only honors Perriand’s legacy but also demonstrates a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and innovation.
Limited Edition Masterpieces
Each of these rare designs has been reproduced with the utmost precision and authenticity, ensuring that Perriand’s original intent is preserved while allowing a modern audience to experience her work firsthand. Available on a made-to-order basis, these pieces reflect the exclusivity and timeless appeal that both Saint Laurent and Perriand represent.
Beyond the Exhibition
In addition to the main installation at Padiglione Visconti, Saint Laurent Editions will also present a special volume dedicated to Perriand’s visionary photographs. This collectible book, alongside a curated catalogue of the newly issued furniture collection, will be available at the Saint Laurent Editions kiosk in Piazza San Babila, making this an unmissable event for design aficionados and collectors alike.
Experience the Fusion of Fashion and Design
This collaboration underscores Anthony Vaccarello’s ongoing mission to expand the Saint Laurent universe beyond fashion, embracing art, architecture, and design as integral parts of the brand’s identity. By reviving and reimagining Perriand’s work, Saint Laurent continues to push boundaries and celebrate creativity in all its forms.
For those eager to immerse themselves in this groundbreaking dialogue between past and present, registration is now open to book a visit to the Saint Laurent – Charlotte Perriand exhibition in Milan. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to witness design history in the making.
