Rue Mallet-Stevens | Paris | September 2021-2

"Robert Mallet-Stevens (March 24, 1886 – February 8, 1945) was an influential French architect and designer.

"Mallet-Stevens was born in Paris in a house called Maison-Laffitte (designed by François Mansart in the 17th century). His father and his grandfather were art collectors in Paris and Brussels. He received his formal training at the École Spéciale d'Architecture in Paris, during which he wrote Guerande about relationships between the different forms of art."

"The architect met in 1924 the banker Daniel Dreyfus, who wanted a real estate complex on a plot of 3,800 m2 which he owns in the 16th arrondissement a few meters from his mansion, located rue de l’Assomption. Mallet-Stevens designed a completely homogeneous whole, without shops and away from noise, entirely dedicated to housing and peace. Everything is thought out by the architect, from the street furniture to the interior decoration.

"A 'total art' that can be found in particular in the finishes, studied down to the smallest detail. Stained glass windows, door grilles and interiors were designed by the greatest names of the time. Unlike Art Nouveau, modernism did not claim to be popular. On the contrary, it assumed to be reserved, and above all accessible, to a certain elite. The owners of the premises are wealthy bourgeois, artists and intellectuals. The whole remains nonetheless sublime, and allows you to walk throughout a rare artistic creation in Paris.

"Note that the street was only classified in 1975, and some modifications were made to the buildings in the meantime, including the street furniture which has disappeared.

"A unique work in Paris, true architectural manifesto."
