Pavillon de l'Esprit Nouveau, Modernist exhibition pavilion in Paris, France
Le Corbusier designed the Pavillon de l'Esprit Nouveau with geometric lines, open spaces, and minimal decoration, focusing on functional living arrangements within a concrete structure.
The 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts showcased new design trends from twenty nations, marking a turning point in architectural and decorative styles.
The pavilion represented a direct challenge to the prevailing Art Deco movement by emphasizing industrial materials and rejecting ornamental elements in favor of pure functionality.
Located along the Seine River near the Grand Palais, the exhibition attracted 16 million visitors who explored innovations in furniture, architecture, and industrial design.
The pavilion introduced mass-produced furniture and modular living concepts, incorporating natural elements through a tree preserved within its architectural structure.
