Robert Mallet-Stevens was born in Paris in 1886 and died there on 8 February 1945. From 1903 to 1906, he studied at the École spéciale d’Architecture. His projects include Villa Noailles in Hyères (1923–1928, extended until 1933), the buildings on rue Mallet-Stevens in Paris (completed by 1927), Villa Cavrois in Croix (1929–1932) and the fire station on rue Mesnil (1935).
He designed the set for the film “L’Inhumaine”, directed by L’Herbier (1924). In 1929, he became the first president of the Union des Artistes Modernes (UAM), and from 1935 to 1939 he headed the École des beaux-arts in Lille. In 2005, the Centre Pompidou devoted a retrospective to him.
