Product description
A rare wardrobe with sliding doors designed by Charlotte Perriand in collaboration with Atelier Jean Prouvé, originally created for the Immeuble HLM Courboulay in Le Mans by architect Jean Le Couteur in 1954. Rooted in postwar French modernism, the original white sliding doors embody principles of functional clarity, material honesty, refined minimalism, and architectural rigor that defined their mid-century work. Their light, matte surface enhances the architectural purity of the design while creating a subtle contrast with the warmth of the surrounding wood. The doors have been carefully recontextualized within a newly crafted solid wood case, designed in a sober and timeless language faithful to the modernist ethos of Perriand and Prouvé. Inside, the wardrobe offers generous and well-organized storage, featuring shelving and hanging space conceived with the same rational and functional approach as the exterior. The result is a unique, contemporary piece that bridges historical authenticity with enduring architectural restraint.
Charlotte Perriand (1903–1999) was one of the most influential figures of modernist design, renowned for her human-centered approach to architecture and furniture. Collaborating closely with Jean Prouvé, she championed functional design rooted in industrial techniques and honest materials. Jean Prouvé (1901–1984), engineer-designer and master metalworker, brought structural rigor and technical innovation to modern architecture. Their collaboration represents a cornerstone of postwar French modernism, blending social ideals with refined design solutions.
