About: Robert Mallet-Stevens (March 24, 1886 – February 8, 1945) was an influential French architect and designer. During his career, he assembled a team of artisans and craftspeople who worked with him: interior designers, sculptors, master glaziers, lighting specialists, and ironsmiths. An example of his collaborative nature is provided by the Union des Artistes Moderne (UAM), formed in 1929 by a group of 25 dissidents of the Société des Artistes-Décorateurs (SAD,) and presided over by Robert. Jan (March 5, 1896 – March 16, 1966) and Joël Martel (March 5, 1896 – September 25, 1966) were French sculptors and identical twin brothers. The twins were born in Nantes and were among the founding members of the Union des Artistes Modernes (UAM). Their works include ornamental sculptures, statues, monuments, and fountains displaying characteristics typical of the Art Deco and Cubist periods. The brothers participated in several Paris exhibitions, including the Salon des Indépendants, Salon d'Automne, Salon des Tuileries, and the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in 1925. During that last event, the renowned concrete trees were showcased in collaboration with architect Robert Mallet-Stevens. Mallet-Stevens ordered that his archives be destroyed upon his death. His wishes were honored, and his memory fell into obscurity. A French exhibit of his drawings, models, and works at the Centre Pompidou in 2005 sparked public interest in his contributions.
