Jean Prouvé Standard chair Vitra

The highest forces exerted on a chair are carried by the hind legs, as they support the weight of the upper body. A simple notion that the ingenious and designer jean prouvé put into practice when designing the standard seat: while a steel tube is enough for the two less stressed front legs, the rear legs of the chair are made of voluminous hollow bodies that transmit the load to the floor. The seat and backrest of the standard chair by jean prouvé are available in various types of robust wood and the remarkable metal frame of the seat comes in different colors. This iconic dark creation is a famous classic of the french manufacturer.
