Project Description:
Thérèse Bonney (1894-1978) was an American photojournalist who both collected and took photographs and started an illustrated press service in 1924. Her photographs document the impact of modernism on European design, of the time. Her residence featured designs by Pierre Chareau and Gabriel Guévrékian and features modern furnishings such as a bookcase built around polished-metal radiator cover and flushed with wall, glass shelving, and a dark brown and beige rug from Myrbor.
