Saint Laurent brings four previously unseen designs by Charlotte Perriand to life in an exclusive exhibition in Milan, celebrating her legacy in modern design.

Honouring the iconic designer and architect, Saint Laurent presents a special exhibition during the Salone del Mobile in Milan. The French fashion house has recreated four rare furniture designs by Perriand—pieces that previously existed only as prototypes or sketches.

Under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello, these furniture pieces will be available in a limited edition and made to order. Among the highlights is the Rio de Janeiro bookshelf (1962), designed for her husband in Brazil, and the Mille-feuilles table (1963), whose layered wood construction posed a manufacturing challenge.

The exhibition, titled Saint Laurent — Charlotte Perriand, will take place from 8 to 13 April at the Padiglione Visconti in Milan. To complement the showcase, Saint Laurent will publish a book featuring photographs of Perriand and a catalogue of the collection, available at its temporary newsstand in Piazza San Babila.
