Jean Prouvé
Jean Prouvé (1901-1984) was a French architect and designer whose work had a widespread influence on furniture design techniques. A prolific individual, Prouvé worked in architecture as well as industrial, structural and furniture design. His main achievement was transferring industrial manufacturing technology to the design world, and this is readily evident in his furniture designs.
Today, many of Prouvé's iconic pieces are still being reproduced for sale by legendary design manufacturer Vitra.
