First edition

Rob MALLET-STEVENS Une demeure 1934 [Villa Cavrois]

Rob MALLET-STEVENS

Une demeure 1934 [Villa Cavrois]

Éditions de l'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui, Boulogne 1934, 24x15,5cm, carnet oblong en spirales.


Extremely rare first edition of this booklet presenting Robert Mallet-Stevens's iconic "Villa Cavrois", containing 47 photographs and 7 pages of sketches and plans. The house was commissioned by textile magnates Paul and Lucie Cavrois, for their family of seven ; construction and decoration took place between 1929 and 1932.
Publisher's spiral binding booklet, printed boards. Some foxing to the first cover, and also a faint dampstain to the right margin. Good condition inside.
Preface by Jean Mistler, then Minister of Postal services and former Under-Secretary of State in charge of Fine Arts. Followed by a presentation by Robert Mallet-Stevens, a manifesto of his total oeuvre: "Home for a large family. Home for a family living in 1934: air, light, work, sports, hygiene, comfort, economy. That was the program...".
A remarkably fresh copy of this true "incunabulum" of modern architecture, "the twenty-eight pages of this work celebrating its construction, quickly became an international success thanks to wide circulation in the press and specialized monographs" (Richard Klein).
