About the Item
Robert Mallet-Stevens (1886-1945) came from an art-loving family and was one of the most influential French avant-garde architects and designers. He met very early on René Herbst and Pierre Chareau, later heroes of modernist design. In 1924 he organized the first exhibition of the Dutch artist group around Piet Mondrian "De Stijl" in Paris. He founded the "Union des Artistes Modernes" UAM in 1929, created a number of modernist houses (including 1927 on Rue Mallet-Stevens in Paris) and exhibition pavilions, (including for the World Exhibition in Paris in 1937), designed film sets as early as 1924 and grouped a large network of modern artists around him until his death. In his will he stipulated that his archive should be destroyed after his death, meaning that he was forgotten for a long time despite his enormous influence on modernity.
The drawing shown from the Center Pompidou is therefore a rarity. It corresponds to the chair Mod.No.9 offered here with a laminated wood seat and painted tubular steel: This is a very rare and early example from the 1930s in original condition! - not to be confused with the Mod.No.222, which is still produced today. This is a museum piece.

View AllImportant Empire Early 19th Century Fauteuil by Jean-Joseph Chapuis
By Jean Joseph Chapuis
Located in Worpswede / Bremen, DE
Despite his long life, very little is known about the general production of menuisier (chairmaker) Jean-Joseph Chapuis (1765-1864) and even less about his use of bent laminates, which must be viewed as the most advanced of its kind until the appearance of Michael Thonet’s work of the 1830s.
The profound reverence for the classical world in enlightened circles in early 19th century Europe and the United States often resulted in the archaeological resurrection of the art, architecture, and design of ancient Greece and Rome. No chair employing the innovative technique of bending wood more boldly expresses this allegiance to the past than this armchair painted in le style antique and based on the ancient Roman sella...

The profound reverence for the classical world in enlightened circles in early nine-teenth-century Europe and the United States often resulted in the archaeological resurrection of the art, architecture, and design of ancient Greece and Rome. No chair employing the innovative technique of bending wood more boldly expresses this allegiance to the past than this armchair painted in le style antique and based on the ancient Roman sella curulis (folding stool); With a curved toprail decorated with putti supporting a medaillion and flanked by scrolling acanthus, the arms with ball finials, above a caned seat, on curved supports terminating in foliate gilt-metal sabots. This merger of technological innovation with fashionable aesthetics parallels the work of the American Samuel Gragg...
