About Jean Prouvé:

Jean Prouvé (1901–1984) was not just a designer — he was a visionary who blurred the lines between architecture and furniture. With roots in metalwork and an unrelenting belief in the social power of design, Prouvé created pieces that married aesthetic clarity with structural integrity. The Grand Repos embodies his genius: industrial yet elegant, practical yet poetic.
