Jean Prouvé ‘Maternelle’ primaryschool desk 1951 Painted bent sheet steel, oak plywood, painted tubular steel, rubber. 47 x 54.9 x 39.4 cm. (18 1/2 x 21 5/8 x 15 1/2 in) Manufactured by Les Ateliers Jean Prouvé France.
Literature Galeries Jousse Seguin and Enrico Navarra, Jean Prouvé Paris, 1998, p. 110; Jean Prouvé Constructeur 1901-1984, exh. cat., Musée des Beaux-Arts, Paris, 2001, p. 100, fig. 109; Peter Sulzer Jean Prouvé Œuvre Complète, Volume 3: 1944-1954, Basel, 2005, p. 35, fig. 23 and p. 220, fig. 1214,2; Galerie Patrick Seguin and Sonnabend Gallery, Jean Prouvé Paris, 2007, pp. 382, 390 and 392-395 Artist Bio Jean Prouvé French • 1901 - 1984 Jean Prouvé believed in design as a vehicle for improvement. His manufactory Les Ateliers Jean Prouvé located in Nancy, France, produced furniture for schools, factories and municipal projects, both within France and in locations as far flung as the Congo. Though he designed for the masses, pieces such as his "Potence" lamps and "Standard" chairs are among the most iconic fixtures in sophisticated, high-design interiors today. Collectors connect with his utilitarian, austere designs that strip materials down to the bare minimum without compromising on proportion or style. Prouvé grew up in Nancy, France, the son of Victor Prouvé, an artist and co-founder of the École de Nancy, and Marie Duhamel, a pianist. He apprenticed to master blacksmiths in Paris and opened a small wrought iron forge in Nancy. However it was sheet steel that ultimately captured Prouvé's imagination, and he ingeniously adapted it to furniture, lighting and even pre-fabricated houses, often collaborating with other design luminaries of the period, such as Robert Mallet-Stevens Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand View More Works
