Coco Chanel, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and other stars of 1920s architecture and design — in Maria Savostyanova’s next lecture.
In 1925 the International Exhibition of Decorative and Industrial Arts was held in Paris, with some of its pavilions significantly influencing international ideas of what an object of interior or architectural design should look like. In her upcoming lecture, Maria Savostyanova will trace the beginnings of the Art Deco style, as well as the evolution of industrial, architectural, graphic and fashion design throughout the 1920s. Innovative materials and technologies, transatlantic trips and the development of public transport, pioneering female designers and couturiers, as well as some landmark objects of European and American design, created by the legendary Coco Chanel, Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Mies van der Rohe, Robert Mallet-Stevens, and many others,—will be encompassed in the lecture based around the emergence and the first boom of Modernist design in various countries.
