The Modern Movement was characterised by a lively debate on how to reconcile regional traditions with the universal language of rationalism. Charlotte Perriand made a fundamental contribution to this discussion with her return to simple materials and elementary forms, inspired in particular by Alpine architecture. “La manque de materiaux donnait de l’imagination,” wrote Charlotte in her memoirs, recalling that it was precisely the simplicity of materials that stimulated creativity in mountain and rural populations.
