Residential Masterpieces 13 Pierre Chareau Maison De Verre

Photographed by Yoshio Futagawa and with text by Yukio Futagawa, this large-format monograph details one of modernism’s early masterpieces. With insights into the history and conception of the house, as well as its design and authors, the text shows how Pierre Chareau, an interior designer in charge of design and planning, “positioned this residence as a prototype of a Modernist manifesto.” Stunning colour and black-and-white photographs once again reinforce the Maison de Verre’s status as a great work of architecture.
