Vitra Jean Prouve Standard Chair

Prouve, Jean

The Standard chair was designed in 1934/50 by Jean Prouve. Chairs take the most strain on their back legs, where they bear the weight of their user's upper body. Prouve took this into account vey succinctly in the Standard chair. Tubular steel piping is enough for the front legs that take relatively little strain, whereas the back legs are made of voluminous hollow sections which pass the strain to the floor.
