Continuing the tradition of featuring a design classic each week (‘Classic Thursdays’ perhaps?), we turn our attention to Prouv\u00c3\u00a9’s Cit\u00c3\u00a9 Lounge Chair.<\/p>\n

Designed by Jean Prouv\u00c3\u00a9<\/a> in 1930, the Cit\u00c3\u00a9 Lounge Chair has broad leather arm straps and a molded sheet steel frame. This chair was one of Prouv\u00c3\u00a9’s earlier furniture designs, and typifies his rational-sculptural aesthetic. The strong lines with a reserved color palette all lead to a subtle modern look that looks just as current as it was eighty years ago. <\/p>\n

“In 1930 Prouv\u00c3\u00a9 helped establish the Union of Modern Artists whose manifesto read, ‘We like logic, balance and purity.'” –wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n

“Prouv\u00c3\u00a9 combines the soul of an engineer with that of an architect” -Le Corbusier<\/p>\n

Frame made of sheet steel, lacquered finish in red, black or beige. Single piece fabric cover in black, beige, tobacco and leather. Armrests are made of thick natural saddle leather straps, including neck support cushion.<\/p>\n
