Charlotte Perriand: Prefabricated kitchen at Les Arcs 1800, France 1979

A true museum piece, this kitchen designed by Charlotte Perriand was created to equip the apartments of the Les Arcs 1800 ski resort, a project to which she dedicated nearly 20 years of her life. This prefabricated kitchen was designed for on-site installation and is equipped with lighting, a four-burner cooktop, space for a dishwasher, and a compact refrigerator. It is made from a fiberglass-reinforced polyester shell and stainless steel. The rarity of this model lies in its two-part design, allowing easier access to the upper floors of the Les Arcs buildings. Exhibited at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, it was also featured in the "Charlotte Perriand: Inventing a New World" exhibition at the Louis Vuitton Foundation in 2019.
