Henri Sauvage
Henri Sauvage (also Frédéric-Henri Sauvage) (born May 10, 1873 in Rouen , † March 21, 1932 in Paris ) was a French architect whose buildings reflect the development from Art Nouveau to Art Deco . He designed villas and hotels as well as furniture and interiors for private homes and businesses. With Frantz Jourdain (1847–1935), Henri Sauvage carried out the extension of the Parisian department store La Samaritaine . In Paris and Le Havre he built rental apartments in reinforced concrete . He advocated the use of prefabricated components and experimented with new materials.
family
Henri Sauvage came from a family of industrialists from Rouen. His grandfather ran a spinning mill . His father, Henri-Albert Sauvage, was a lawyer at the Rouen court and settled in Paris in 1890, where he founded the Jolly et Sauvage wallpaper and fabric factory with Alexandre-Amédée Jolly . Henri Sauvage was married to Marie-Louise Charpentier, daughter of the sculptor Alexandre Charpentier . With her he had a son and three daughters.
career
In 1890, Henri Sauvage was accepted into the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. There he attended the courses of Jean-Louis Pascal. In 1895 he finished his training, although he had received several awards, without a degree.
For his father's company, Jolly et Sauvage, he set up an interior decorating shop on Rue de Rohan in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, which no longer existed, and one of his customers was Hector Guimard . Henri Sauvage also designed Art Nouveau furniture based on the model of Gustave Serrurier-Bovy . In the workshop of the sculptor Alexandre Charpentier, whose daughter he married in 1898, Henri Sauvage met the cabinet maker Louis Majorelle (1859–1926), the painters Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and Auguste Renoir .
Henri Sauvage received an order from Louis Majorelle in 1898 to build a villa ( Villa Majorelle ) in Nancy , which was completed in 1902 and made the young architect famous. The construction of the theater for Loïe Fuller, which had been demolished again for the Paris World Exhibition of 1900, also made it famous.
Around 1900, Henri Sauvage teamed up with the architect Charles Sarazin, who was involved in almost all of his buildings until 1916. Together with him he worked for the Société Anonyme des Logements Hygiéniques à Bon Marché (Society for hygienic and inexpensive apartments) founded in 1903 by Frantz Jourdain, Paul Gallimard, Amédée Dherbécourt , whose first project was the apartment building on Rue Trétaigne in the 18th arrondissement of Paris was. Innovations were the construction in reinforced concrete with brick as the filling material, the bay windows and the prefabricated wall boxes made of exposed concrete protruding under the kitchen windows, which served as natural refrigerators. The concrete facade of the tenement building on Boulevard de l'Hôpital No. 165 in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, built by the same company, was completely clad with ceramic tiles.
In an effort to build apartments that were supplied with plenty of light and air, Henri Sauvage developed the step houses. His first stepped building, the facade of which was also clad with ceramic tiles, was completed in 1913. It was in this house at 26 rue Vavin in the 6th arrondissement of Paris that Henri Sauvage set up his office from 1913 until his death in 1932.
In 1916 he received an order from the Société Anonyme des Logements Hygiéniques à Bon Marché for a tenement house in the Rue des Amiraux in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, which he also built in stages. A swimming pool was installed in the lower middle area, which was otherwise difficult to use.
In 1923 Henri Sauvage founded the Société des architectes modern (Society of Modern Architects) with Frantz Jourdain, Hector Guimard, Joachim Richard, Pierre Sézille, Louis Brachet and Tony Selmersheim and in 1926 he founded the Société de Construction Rapide (Society for rapid construction) with the aim to advance the standardization and commercialization of precast parts. He also experimented with new materials such as Solomit (coated construction panels made of straw) and fiber cement .
