Jean Prouvé (1901-1984)
| December 21, 2007

Jean Prouvé was a French architect and furniture designer.

“He never designed for the sake of form alone, concentrating instead on the essence of materials, connections and production. Jean Prouvé strove for the most constructionally and materially efficient designs, with such classic end results as the modern design Standard chair of 1934 and the Antony chair of 1954..”
