A Perriand Inspired Masterclass with Es Devlin

Enjoy a 25 minute workshop exploring the art of collaboration and design through observation of natural forms. The class is inspired by the spirit of Charlotte Perriand as embodied in this powerful photograph, of which Perriand’s daughter wrote:

“That photograph of a strong woman, triumphantly embracing nature, is the perfect image of my mother. She announces the contemporary woman, emancipated and free.”
