Jean Prouvé Standard Chair for Vitra – Natural Oak, White Metal

Timeless and architecturally pure, the Standard Chair by Jean Prouvé for Vitra is a defining icon of modern industrial design. First designed in 1934, it showcases Prouvé’s philosophy of functional beauty — where every element serves a structural purpose. The chair’s distinctive profile, with its robust rear legs made from hollow steel, is a direct expression of engineering elegance and simplicity.

This version pairs a natural oak seat and backrest with a White Metal powder-coated steel frame, creating a refined contrast that complements both contemporary and classic interiors. The combination of honest materials and minimalist geometry makes the Standard Chair as relevant today as it was nearly a century ago.

A true investment in design heritage, these chairs are ideal for dining rooms, meeting spaces, or creative studios seeking timeless quality and architectural presence.
