Built at the beginning of the twentieth century and commissioned by Théodore Reinach (1860–1928), a French politician and renowned Hellenist, Villa Kerylos is located in Beaulieu-sur-Mer on the French Riviera. The place keeps alive the dream of Ancient Greek noble homes, while incorporating modern comfort.
A story of friendship – and quarrels – that unfolded between the 1920s and 1950s among Eileen Gray, Jean Badovici, Le Corbusier and Thomas Rebutato, a local of Italian origin, where modernism meets the simplicity of seaside holiday living on the chic French Riviera.
Commissioned by the Swiss banker Raoul La Roche, the villa named after him, located in the bourgeois 16th district of Paris, is an architectural promenade proposed by Le Corbusier, who here applied his vision of modern architecture developed in the 1920s.
A few steps from the Place de la Bastille, the Patrick Seguin gallery is a favorite place of mid-twentieth century design enthusiasts where one can see Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret, Le Corbusier, Jean Royère and Jean Prouvé works.
For its 2021 Spring sale dedicated to 20th-century design, Sotheby’s listed iconic works by Pierre Jeanneret, Gio Ponti, Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne, and Marc Newson.
