Jean PROUVE (1901-1984). Vitra editions (recent production). Pair of Standard chairs. Black lacquered folded tubular steel structure with burgundy red lacquered wooden seats and backs. Edition labels "Prouvé Vitra" and "Vitra" under the seats. H. 82 x 42 x 47 cm Condition: some missing lacquer and wear from use Please note: The "Standard" model is one of Jean Prouvé's most iconic designs, conceived in 1934 to meet the needs of school and industrial furniture. Renowned for its ingenious combination of materials - the folded sheet metal rear base for strength and stability, and the tubular steel front legs to lighten the structure - the Standard chair reflects the functionalist aesthetic so dear to Prouvé. Reissued today by Vitra, it retains the avant-garde spirit of its creator, combining utilitarian design with timeless elegance.
