Perriand’s distinct approach to material use was a defining aspect of her work. Her fascination with Japanese craftsmanship during her visit in the 1940s led her to incorporate bamboo into her designs, as seen in creations like her bamboo bookshelves. Her contributions extended to interior design, particularly with her forward-thinking kitchen concept. Prioritizing storage, she introduced ideas that challenged conventional layouts, paving the way for the modern modular kitchens prevalent today. In postwar Europe, Perriand designed compact university dorm rooms that seamlessly blended color, form, and composition while prioritizing both aesthetics and functionality.
