The creator and architect of the emblematic Maison de verre in Paris, Pierre Chareau (1883-1950) left behind a rich and coherent body of work, a "Chareau style" that places him as much in the modernist movement as in an avant-garde way of thinking that embraces a world of new forms and materials.

This second of two volumes published by Norma Editions offers an unprecedented synthesis of nearly 80 interior architecture projects (1908-1938), both private and public, as well as his architectural projects (1925-1950). It reveals the evolution of Pierre Chareau's approach to interior design, from his beginnings as a decorator integrating his furniture into existing spaces, to the advent, over the course of his projects, of a resolutely architectural approach to space, in which the furniture comes alive and becomes architecture in its own right.

Listing all of these projects, the book provides a detailed and illustrated analysis of twenty-five of them, mostly commissioned by three families, the Dalsaces, the Bernheims and the Dreyfus.
