Salone 2012: Charlotte Perriand's Mountain Prefab

Perriand was reportedly inspired by a photograph of a children's fairground ride in Croatia. She came up with the original idea in 1936, and then developed it further with Jeanneret. Pernette Perriand-Barsac said her mother would be most pleased to see it finally realized. Maquette du Refuge Tonneau, 1938 / CASSINA Refuge Tonneau C. Perriand, P.
