about the designer :: Prouve, Jean

Jean Prouve was the son of the famous French (Nancy) artisan, Victor Prouve. After apprenticing as a blacksmith and a metalsmith, he opened his own workshop in 1923 and eventually, the Ateliers Jean Prouve in 1931. He completely embraced new manufacturing technology and industrial processes in combining industrial materials, sheet metal, aluminum and glass with wood to create furniture and architecture.
