About the location

Le Mobilier national

1 rue Berbier-du-Mets 75013 Paris

Île-de-France

Building built from 1935 to 1937 on the site of the vegetable gardens of the Gobelins factory by the brothers Auguste and Gustave Perret. Intended to serve as a storage unit for national furniture, the building expresses Auguste Perret’s ideas on "classical modernism". The symmetrical arrangement of the building bodies around a square courtyard preceded by a colonnade illustrates the classical party; modernism finds itself in the rational functionalism of the spaces of restoration and storage, equipped with zenith lighting, and in the use of reinforced concrete, whose sandblasting on the exterior facades reveals fragments of pink sandstone. Property of the State, the site is classified as historical monuments.
