Duplex in the Hôtel Martel

With a floor area of 72 sqm, it comprises a beautiful lounge with built-in furniture extending onto a balcony, a kitchen, a bedroom with a dressing room and a bathroom. It also features a very pleasant 50 sqm terrace.

Although it has retained its original volumes and décor, including the furniture designed by Gabriel Guevrekian, the flat has been completely renovated by decorator Christian Liaigre.

It is located in an emblematic district of the 16th arrondissement.

Mallet-Stevens’s signature vocabulary is clearly visible on the façade: cubic volumes, numerous offsets and a smooth, white surface. Particular attention has been paid to the design of the entrances, designed by Jean Prouvé, and to the communal areas. In the stairwell, you can admire a sumptuous stained-glass window made by master stained-glass artist Louis Barillet, composed of a variety of laminated glass with different reliefs.

Rare architecture, listed as a Historic Monument, in a quiet, privileged setting.

Along with Le Corbusier and André Lurçat, Robert Mallet-Stevens (1886-1945) was one of the main proponents of the “International Style” in Paris, and the founder of the Union des Artistes Modernes in 1929. He designed a number of luxury private residences for wealthy clients, bankers and major collectors: the Villa Barillet on Square Vergennes in Paris, the Villa Cavrois in Croix in the north of France, the Villa Noailles in Hyères and the Maison Collinet in Boulogne, but his most important work is the street that bears his name in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. The Centre Pompidou devoted a monographic exhibition to him in 2005.
