Description
The Maison de Verre (literally house of glass) is a rarely seen modernist gem, a private residence in an 18th century Paris courtyard completed in 1932. The most celebrated work of French architect and designer Pierre Chareau, the house is acclaimed as an inspiration by many architects and designers, but until now has only been glimpsed byvery few.
Dominique Vellay, the granddaughter of the original owner and client, tells here for the first time the story of her grandmothers relationship with the architect and this extraordinarily inventive house. Her personal memoir and the spectacular, specially taken photographs make this a publication of rare distinction.
