About the Item

A rare sideboard with sliding doors designed by Charlotte Perriand in collaboration with Atelier Jean Prouvé, originally created for the Immeuble HLM Courboulay in Le Mans by architect Jean Le Couteur in 1954. Rooted in postwar French modernism, the original doors embody principles of functional clarity, material honesty, refined minimalism, and architectural rigor that defined their mid-century work. The doors have been carefully recontextualized within a newly crafted solid wood case, designed in a sober and timeless language faithful to the modernist ethos of Perriand and Prouvé. The result is a unique, contemporary piece that bridges historical authenticity with enduring architectural restraint. Charlotte Perriand (1903–1999) was one of the most influential figures of modernist design, renowned for her human-centered approach to architecture and furniture. Collaborating closely with Jean Prouvé, she championed functional design rooted in industrial techniques and honest materials. Jean Prouvé (1901–1984), engineer-designer and master metalworker, brought structural rigor and technical innovation to modern architecture. Their collaboration represents a cornerstone of postwar French modernism, blending social ideals with refined design solutions.
