Perimeter presents a selection of original furniture and objects from the second part of the XXth Century

Perimeter selects furniture designs that illustrate the directions explored around furniture design produced industrially by prominent designers of the second half of the XXth century such as Mathieu Matégot, Roger Tallon, Charlotte Perriand, André Monpoix or Geneviève Dangles and Christian Defrance. Lots of these furniture pieces have in fact never been produced at scale mainly because of the weakness of the French industrial furniture industry after the war until the sixties.

These pieces, that are today available only in very limited numbers, have an increasing value from a historical and market perspective. They illustrate a very rich moment in the reflection of architects and designers about the domestic space combining ideas of social progress, use of new materials and formal experimentations.

Perimeter also has an interest in original Art-Design furniture and objects that were consciously produced in limited quantity in the later decades of the century. Created from an artistic perspective and produced generally with the help of small ventures, individual galleries or collectives (such as Atelier A, Alchimia or Memphis), they are sourced mainly in France and Italy.
