Description
Jean Prouvé has created countless design classics. Among them is the Standard Chair. The designer and architect created this chair in response to the observation that a seat is subject to the greatest load on the rear legs and needs to be able to support the weight of the torso. The Standard SP (siège en plastique – plastic chair) is now being reissued by Vitra, who have updated this iconic chair without changing its shape or the original concept: a chair and backrest in durable plastic, available in a carefully chosen colour palette to give it a contemporary look for the office or around the dining table.

Born in Paris in 1901, Jean Prouvé apprenticed as a silversmith with Emile Robert in Enghien and Szabo in Paris, before continuing his studies at the Ecole Supérieure de Nancy. From 1923 onwards, he established himself as a builder-designer through a body of architectural and furniture work that advocated an aesthetic of necessity. In 1930, he co-founded the artists' association "Union des Artistes Modernes" (U.A.M.), and in 1931 he created "Les Ateliers Jean Prouvé". It was here that many pieces of furniture were created in the 1930s, as well as the first prefabricated architectural elements. His university furniture, Cité (1931) and Antony (1954), ingeniously manage utilitarian aspects, respect for and economy of material and the demands of mass production. For some years now, Vitra has been reissuing the finest examples of its furniture production. Among his greatest design classics is Antony, a unique armchair. The latter stands out for its surprising structure, which Jean Prouvé combined with a strikingly dynamic form. Another example is the Potence swivel wall lamp designed in 1950 for the "Tropique" house, rightly considered to be the designer's purist masterpiece.

VITRA
Vitra was founded in 1950 by Willi Fehlbaum and Erika Fehlbaum. The design furniture company Vitra is located near Basel, Switzerland. Starting in 1981, the Vitra brand expanded and opened numerous subsidiaries around the world. The founders discovered the Vitra armchairs, including the Eames armchairs, the Vitra tables, and the office chairs created by Charles and Ray Eames, Antonio Citterio, and the Bouroullec brothers. They were instantly captivated and subsequently requested a license to produce these furniture pieces in Europe. In 1956, Vitra acquired this license, which became one of the cornerstones of the brand’s success.
