VITRA Standard Chair
The Standard chair, designed by Jean Prouve in 1935/50 for Vitra, is a prime example of his working with thin steel sheet, a material he had long been looking for during his previous work with cast metal.
Chairs take the most strain on their back legs, where they bear the weight of their user's upper body. Prouvé took this into account very succinctly with 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 and pass the strain on to the floor.
The result is a robust chair with a distinct 1950s appeal.
The legs of the Standard Chair are powder coated in various colours with a seat and backrest in either natural oak or dark stained oak, varnished for a natural wood effect.
