Tabouret Solvay
Jean Prouvé, 1941
Tabouret Solvay is a simple, robust stool made of solid wood that reveals the designer’s signature at first glance: its clear structural principles can be found throughout the work of Jean Prouvé. Thanks to the flat, even surface of the seat, Tabouret Solvay can also be used as a small side table.
