Architect, decorator, designer of furniture and shops, interior design and film sets, Robert Mallet-Stevens, by embodying the association of architecture and applied arts in France, occupies a place that is both emblematic and singular in the history of modern architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter his death, his work was forgotten until the mid-1970s. Early academic works, such as the retrospective dedicated to him by the Pompidou Centre in 2005, show that the variety of Mallet-Stevens's career and the diversity of his projects allowed him to address all dimensions of modernity during the years when craftsmanship and industry coexisted in constructed experiments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e This book offers a new perspective on Mallet-Stevens by emphasizing the plurality of his activities. The figure of the dandy has often overshadowed that of the worker: Mallet-Stevens wrote extensively, renewed architecture, spoke of drawing, designed film sets and numerous storefronts; he regularly exhibited ephemeral buildings, taught and, within the UAM (Union of Modern Artists), aimed to democratize modern decorative arts. The man as well as the creator regains his full stature here. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"wysiwyg js-summary offset\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Antinoë","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42843052245232,"sku":"25768","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/4043\/6408\/products\/Couverture-CAAR-Mallet-Stevens_full_book_img.jpg?v=1652780608","url":"https:\/\/anttopinoe.com\/en-en\/products\/robert-mallet-stevens-agir-pour-larchitecture-moderne","provider":"Antinoë","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
