This Desk by Jean Prouvé is raw yet elegant and classic modernist furniture. The thin metal legs, formally recalling the shape of a compass, define the piece's characteristic shape. The desk with its outstanding, straightforward yellow drawer is a beautiful and timeless centerpiece. Because of its simplistic design the table has become a popular object of modernist design history.
Jean Prouvé was a French designer. During his lifetime, he created restrained metal objects that rejected excess decoration. Working with Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand as well as Le Corbusier, Prouvé created his simple yet breathtaking furniture.
