Windows become frames that narrate the space
A home filled with peace, built with a few essential gestures and a palette of materials in harmony with the surrounding landscape. The anthracite-colored windows by Edilpiù take center stage in this visual narrative.
The exhibition, organised in strict chronological order, describes his career through original drawings, photographs, film clips, a selection of furniture and architectural models. Such as the cubist villa built for the patron couple Charles and Marie-Laure de Noailles, in Hyères; the villa Cavrois in Croix (“a residence for a family living in 1934: air, light, work, sport, hygiene, comfort and economy” was the designer’s brief) and scenes from the film L’Inhumaine, by Marcel L’Herbier where modern architecture takes on the role of protagonist.
Three examples that leave one to perceive the richness of Mallet-Stevens who, dying just before major postwar construction began to take place, was not in time to leave behind a theoretical work to assure his place in the archives. The Pompidou Centre attempts to fill the gap starting with this exhibition and following on with the publication of a lengthy scientific work. E.S.
