Vitra Prouve Chaise Tout Bois Chair
The Vitra Chaise Tout Bois Chair by Jean Prouvé is designed with ingenuity. At a time when metal was sparse, Prouvé created a completely wooden design, without the need for screws. This dining chair will look beautiful in any home due to its classic and timeless design. The solid and functional structure contrasts with the beautiful smooth oak to create an elegant chair that harnesses the element of stability.

Description
The Vitra Chaise Tout Bois is a variant of the classic Vitra Standard Chair designed by Jean Prouvé in 1941. The Chaise Tout Bois (French for "All Wood Chair") is Prouve's only chair made entirely from wood. The decision to make the chair entirely from wood was due in part to the scarcity of metal during the Second World War. In designing this all wood version, Prouve was able to provide added strength at the transition point between the seat and backrest, where the load weight of the human anatomy is greatest.
The warm expression of the wood forms a homely contrast to the functional form and strength of the chair. This sophisticated dining chair blends perfectly into any home interior and will be much loved by lovers of true design.

Jean Prouve
Jean Prouvé is regarded as one of the most influential furniture designers of the early modern design movement. Specialising in the use of steel and aluminium in his designs, he is said to have considered himself more as an engineer than a modern designer. Prouvé was a pioneer of his time concentrating purely on efficiency and the materials being used rather than just the aesthetic appeal of products. His iconic Trapeze Dining Table, manufactured by Vitra is one of his many timeless designs with its alluring appeal and versatility - flexible to apply to any design style.
