Birch, enameled steel
26.51⁄2l x 201⁄2w x 341⁄2h
The Antony chair illustrates Prouve’s background in structural engineering and his interest in new materials. Created for the residences at the University of Strasbourg, the chair is an example of his drive to achieve results through an “economy of means.”
The single piece of moulded plywood floats on four points at the ends of two crescent-shaped steel supports. A rare and exceptional example of French modernism.
