Table S.A.M. Bois
Jean Prouvé, 1941
During the years of 1941 and 1942, the Ateliers Jean Prouvé planned and executed a number of interior design projects for a chemical company in France. Numerous pieces of furniture were developed in connection with this commission, including a table made of wood that exemplifies Prouvé’s construction methods: its structural details illustrate the interplay of forces and stresses – similar to the later design of the EM Table, whose metal legs distinguish it from its predecessor. Due to the scarcity of metal during World War II, the “Table Salle à Manger Bois” was designed with wooden legs, leading to the name Table S.A.M. Bois.
Available in natural oak, dark stained oak or American walnut, Table S.A.M. Bois by Jean Prouvé adds a high-quality, inviting touch to cafeterias, meeting rooms or central spaces in open-plan office environments.
