THE B.C.C. STORY
Share
The exhibition at Laffanour Galerie Downtown/Paris featured three designers and one editor who have made a significant impact on the post-war world:
Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret, Jean Prouvé and Georges Blanchon.
At the end of WWII, the situation was critical in France, as in Europe! France was divided into administrative regions that required major recovery plans, partly supported by the Marshall Plan; this was the period of Reconstruction. In this context of the immediate Post-War years Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret, Jean Prouvé and Georges Blanchon supported the development of the B.C.C. (Bureau Central de Construction), based in Grenoble.
