Mallet-Stevens is recognized for his many talents: as an architect, from various buildings such as Villa Noailles in Hyères, the hotels in the street named after him in Paris, and Villa Cavrois in Croix near Lille; as a decorator, for his window dressing for Bally; as an aficionado of the 7th art, for his work with Marcel L'Herbier; for his commitment to the Modern Movement, for his role in the U.A.M. (Union of Modern Artists), etc. This exhibition enables viewers to discover this work in all its glory: his projects in Paris and all over France, as well as his numerous unfinished projects.
