When a designer is as celebrated as Charlotte Perriand, and her original designs are increasingly hot property 20 years after her death, a previously unknown work coming to auction is a major event.
At Sotheby’s in Paris on 17 December, four Perriand pieces that have never been seen before in public will go under the hammer, marking this out as a dramatic design sale to finish off the year.
