Les Chardons building, Art Nouveau residential building in 16th arrondissement, Paris, France

The Les Chardons building features yellow ochre and almond green flamed sandstone ceramics covering its entire facade with detailed thistle motifs.

Charles Klein designed this six-story structure in 1903, incorporating the Hennebique reinforced concrete system for advanced construction methods of that period.

The building's facade earned recognition in the 1903 City of Paris competition, with ceramic work by Emile Muller and metal craftsmanship by Auguste Dondelinger.

Located at 9 rue Claude-Chahu and 2 rue Eugène-Manuel, the structure maintains protected status as a registered historical monument since 1986.

The entrance hall and staircase feature wrought iron railings, while the facade displays visible signatures of both the architect and ceramist.
