Paravent ambassade indoors screen designed by cassina in collaboration with ginori 1735 and pernette perriand-barsac. Manufactured in italy by cassina. The structure consists in fir frame with mdf panel, honeycomb paper. Screen-printed decoration on both sides. In 1969, charlotte perriand designed a screen for the home of the japanese ambassador to france. This allowed her to put her passion for the far east to work. During her travels to the region, she gained many insights into the immense local artisan heritage. Charlotte perriand, expert in designing furniture to meet the needs of its user, conceived the paravent ambassade screen to hide the door connecting the office to the salon de réception, a space that evoked a certain solemnity also because of the presence of a large sofa, over seven meters long, next to which the screen was placed. Due to a lack of budget to construct the screen, perriand had the brilliant idea of reusing the discarded solid rosewood left over from the production of her tabourets which she had cut into rectangular blocks to be connected with threaded rods. The result is an artist’s puzzle, a small architectural composition made from 313 hand- processed solid wood blocks, assembled one by one, held together by vertical tension rods and separated by anchors. A masterpiece of perseverance that, thanks to the great number of blocks, makes it possible to mold the screen into increasingly diverse shapes and articulate its movement with sinuousness like that of a micro-mesh. The years perriand spent in the far east bore fruit in the design screen, a masterpiece of perseverance made of 313 small solid wood blocks, made entirely by hand and assembled one by one. A painstaking architectural composition, an artist’s design puzzle made for the interior decor of an ambassador’s home, a piece that narrates charlotte perriand passion for japan and its artisan heritage. Charlotte perriand innovative designs are the expression of a new art de vivre that ran against the currents of the day. Hers is a design approach nourished by multidisciplinary activities, including a key role played by photography. In this art of living, perriand pours her passion for observing nature into the smallest, most revealing details. The le monde de charlotte perriand collection – which began as a partnership between cassina and pernette perriand-barsac, charlotte’s daughter and founder of her mother’s archives – is inspired by the patterns in the photographs taken by perriand between 1933 and 1934 and manufactured in partnership with ginori 1735. Hand- decorated patterns for porcelain dinnerware that brings another of the designer’s passions to fruition – ceramics – matured in contact with the japanese masters during the years she lived in the far east. Le monde de charlotte perriand collection is composed of a charger, dinner plate, soup plate and dessert plate, presented in sets of two, with three different decorations that can be mixed or matched. Engraved on the plates are the designs inspired by charlotte’s photos. Here, the plates painted with the tronc pattern depict the circular striations of a tree trunk that could be the face of a lemur or the sensual mouth of an indian goddess. Or, in the neige pattern, the contours of a snow slab in the cracks of a stone floor, captured on film in the fontainebleau forest in 1934, elicit the likenesses of mythological animals or gorgons. Or, still, the fish bone on the arête service that calls to mind a mysterious work tool. To ensure authenticity, each item is marked with the cassina and ginori 1735 logos. Charlotte perriand was also a photographer and collector of objects and fragments that provided inspiration for her designs. This set grew out of the partnership between cassina and ginori 1735 and engraves the porcelain with the patterns inspired by the designer’s photos.
