Origin and history

Charlotte Perriand's apartments are located at 9 rue Montalembert, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. They occupy the 9th and 10th floors of a building built in 1954 by architect Louis Thomas. These spaces, designed by Charlotte Perriand herself, reflect her innovative approach to interior design, combining functionality and modern aesthetics. They were registered in the Historical Monuments by order of 1 April 2025, recognizing their exceptional heritage value.

The building, of sober and elegant style, is part of the post-war Parisian architectural landscape, a period marked by the reconstruction and emergence of new urban forms. Charlotte Perriand, a renowned interior architect, has left her mark through interior design that illustrates her pioneering work on ergonomics and the use of modern materials. These apartments, with their building elements by nature, constitute a rare and preserved example of his work in a residential setting.

The location of the building, in a central district of Paris, underlines the importance of this project in the context of the architectural and cultural renewal of the French capital in the mid-20th century. Although the exact address is documented (9 Montalembert Street), the accuracy of the geographic location is considered poor, which may reflect the limitations of the data available for this type of inland heritage. The apartments are not open to the public, and their access remains restricted, thus preserving their historical integrity.
