Summary:
From 1928 to 1932, the avant-garde decorator and furniture maker, Pierre Chareau, constructed the Paris House of Glass for Dr. Dr. Dalsace in the early modern style of architecture. The house's design emphasized three primary traits: honesty of materials, variable transparency of forms, and juxtaposition of "industrial" materials and fixtures with a more traditional style of home décor. It is a machine to be lived in, full of surprises and strokes of inspirations.
