During the Second World War, the villa was occupied by the German army and transformed into barracks. Abandoned, the villa is prey to vandalism and is rapidly deteriorating.
Thanks to the mobilization of a preservation association, the State acquired a large part of the property in 2001.
Thirteen years were necessary to restore the villa and its park to their state of 1932. This exceptional project required in-depth historical and archaeological research, and mobilized the know-how of highly qualified craftsmen, in order to restore as faithfully as possible the design of Mallet-Stevens.

As big fans of the 20th century modernist movement, it was an honor to place our creations among those of Robert Mallet-Stevens. We immediately felt the harmony emanating from the association of our creations with this emblematic place.A big thank you to Maisons de Mode for the opportunity and to Anaïs for her keen eye and the quality of her work.The Brown Babel Team
