About the Item

Robert Mallet-Stevens, the architect of the Cavrois villa, started his career in 1907. Inspired by the architecture of Josef Hoffman and the Vienna Secession, he distinguished himself during his studies at the Ecole spéciale d’architecture as a defender of a modern and rational vision of architecture, which renounces decoration. Around 1920, Mallet-Stevens was active in various design disciplines: he designed shop windows and shops for industry and trade. At the same time he makes the sets for twenty films, including L’Inhumaine (1924) and Le Vertige (1927) by Marcel L’Herbier. D. The 1925 exhibition puts Mallet-Stevens in the spotlight: the architect draws several pavilions and establishments that stand out for their modernity, such as the pavilion for tourism, for example. The cubist square, created together with the Martel brothers, is causing a scandal. Since Mallet-Stevens has never worked for large government contracts, his name and his oeuvre remain mainly linked to the architecture of town houses. In 1922 Paul Poiret orders a villa from him, which remains unfinished. Between 1923 and 1928, he designed a residence for the Count of Noailles in Hyères. At the same time, he is building a residential complex for the street that bears his name, in the XVIth arrondissement of Paris. The Cavrois villa, built between 1929 and 1932, is the cornerstone of his way of thinking: thanks to the trust that Paul and Lucie Cavrois place in him, Mallet-Stevens achieves a masterpiece by designing the building, the interior and the furniture at the same time. as well as designing the park. All his life, Mallet-Stevens has strived for truly modern architecture. Around the 1930s, Mallet-Stevens, along with Le Corbusier, is one of the most talked about architects. Despite its importance to modern architectural thinking, his work slowly fades into obscurity after his death in 1945. The No. 222 chair was designed by Mallet-Stevens in the early 1930s for the Cavrois villa. The chairs are so strong in design that the word timeless certainly applies to them. Matching patina on the black lacque.
