Robert Mallet-Stevens : la villa Cavrois
Auteur(s) : Richard Klein
A masterpiece of modernist architecture, Villa Cavrois embodies the ideal of the ‘modern château’ conceived by Robert Mallet-Stevens (1886–1945) in the early 1930s. Designed as a total work of art, it combines geometric rigour, understated luxury and technical innovations, offering a radically new vision of the art of living.
This monograph offers an in-depth exploration of the building, from its design for the Cavrois family to its spectacular restoration in the 21st century, inviting readers to rediscover an iconic monument where architecture, design and landscape interact in perfect harmony. It also features an interview with Michel Goutal, Chief Architect of Historic Monuments, who oversaw the restoration of the villa’s interior, exterior and grounds.
