Pierre Chareau: Modern Architecture and Design offers a revealing look at the visionary French designer and architect who was a pivotal figure in modernism.
This comprehensive study highlights Chareau's extraordinary Art Deco furniture, his iconic glass house, Maison de Verre, and his innovative designs that linked architecture, fine arts, and style. Extensive illustrations showcase his work, including furniture, architecture, interiors, fabrics, and wallpapers, as well as his art collection.
Written by leading scholars, the book provides detailed analyses of individual projects, Chareau's interdisciplinary approach, his Jewish background, and his place in the avant-garde of Paris between the wars. Published in association with the Jewish Museum, New York, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in modern architecture and design.
