Paradis
Jean Prouvé: From Furniture to Architecture
The forthcoming publication on Laurence and Patrick Seguin’s private collection is set to be an exceptional tribute to the visionary work of JEAN PROUVÉ, iconic figure of 20th-century design and architecture. Through a meticulously compiled selection of furniture (primarily prototypes or rarely-seen pieces), architectural elements and demountable houses, the book plunges us into Prouvé’s singular world where aesthetics are placed at the service of function.
This new, fully bilingual publication presents the collection of work by Jean Prouvé assembled by Laurence and Patrick Seguin over the years. Generously illustrated with contemporary photographs and previously unpublished archive drawings, it brings to light a wide range of pieces designed by Prouvé over more than three decades.
Leading collectors and champions of Jean Prouvé’s work, Laurence and Patrick Seguin take us on a tour of their private collection, which brings together emblematic pieces by the “constructor”, some rare and little known, such as the 1939 Saint-Brévin table, and others iconic, such as the Métropole chair or the 1930 Cité armchair. Exploring the architecture of this impressive collection is an invitation to fully immerse oneself in the very heart of modern design.
