The history of the Villa Noailles

Villa Noailles, named after its owners, is a resolutely modern jewel of the Roaring Twenties, completed in 1925. For the record, it was supposed to have been designed by Mies Van Der Rohe.

Decorative elements and furniture were signed by the great names of the time, including Charlotte Perriand, Eileen Grey, Francis Jourdain, Jean Prouvé, Raoul Dufy, Sonia Delaunay, Georges Braque and Giacommetti, to name but a few.

This villa in Hyères was a popular meeting place for the artistic and cultural elite of the interwar period.
