Fauteuil de Salon
Jean Prouvé, 1939
Fauteuil de Salon joins simple planes into a unified architectural object with a comfortable seat surface and backrest. Rediscovered in the archives of the French engineer Jean Prouvé, the armchair has been updated in a contemporary colour palette. With solid wood armrests and the designer's characteristic structural aesthetic, Fauteuil de Salon can be ideally combined with other pieces in the Prouvé Collection.
