Fauteuil Direction is a well designed chair in which you can sit comfortably at the table. It pays homage to Prouveé's typical philosophy of focusing on design factors. The chair is perfect for the home office where, particularly in combination with the small desk Compas Direction, it creates an individual touch and can also be used as a comfortable dining chair.

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 direction 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.
