"Prouvé combines the soul of an engineer with that of an architect" -Le Corbusier

Fauteuil de Salon combines plain surfaces into a complete architectural form with a comfortable seat and backrest. Rediscovered in the archives of the French design engineer, the chair's color was adapted for modern tastes. Thanks to the armrests in oiled solid wood and Prouvé's typical philosophy of focusing on design factors, Fauteuil de Salon goes perfectly with other products in the Prouvé Collection.

Jean Prouvé (1901-1984), architect, engineer and designer, was endeavored for using highly-developed technologies for metal processing to achieve innovative constructions and forms in his design and architecture work. He played a decisive part in developing construction techniques using light-weight prefabricated parts in architecture, making use, among other things, of insights from the airplane and automotive industry. In his Ateliers Jean Prouvé, the company he founded in 1947, he started not only producing light-weight components but also his own design drafts.

Fauteuil de salon lounge chair features a powder-coated (smooth) round and molded sheet steel frame. The seat & backrest are polyurethane foam covered in your choice of upholstery. The armrests are oiled solid wood in either natural oak, smoked oak or American walnut.
