“Der Neue Stil in Frankreich [Cover title: Der Moderne Stil in 
Frankreich]”

By Henry Van de Velde.
Published in Berlin by Verlag Ernst Wasmuth in 1925.

A wonderful survey of Art Deco design in France, chosen by one of the 
leading architects and designers of the era. Van de Velde writes an 
introduction (in German) and then 64 plates present the work of Legrain, 
Jeanneret, Puiforcat, and dozens of others, in furniture, silver, 
glassware, lighting, interiors, architecture, and even hair styles and a 
motorcar.

"Henry Clemens Van de Velde [1863-1957] was a Belgian painter, architect 
and interior designer. Together with Victor Horta and Paul Hankar he 
could be considered as one of the main founders and representatives of 
Art Nouveau in Belgium. Van de Velde spent the most important part of 
his career in Germany and had a decisive influence on German 
architecture and design at the beginning of the 20th century."
