Standard

The seat and backrest of the Standard chair by Jean Prouvé are accessible in different sorts of strong wood, and the chair’s striking metal edge comes in various colours.‎ This downplayed, notorious design is a popular exemplary by the French ‚constructeur’.‎ Materials: – Seat and backrest: oak (normal or dull completion) or walnut (dark pigmented finish).‎ – Base: twisted sheet steel and cylindrical steel, powder-covered completion (smooth).‎ Chairs take the most weight on their back legs, where they bear the heaviness of the client’s upper body.‎ The specialist and designer Jean Prouvé outlined this basic understanding in his particular design for the Standard chair: while steel tubing gets the job done for the front legs, since they bear a generally light burden, the back legs are made of voluminous empty segments that move the essential pressure to the floor.‎ Standard is presented with a seat and backrest in wood or as the model Standard SP in ASA plastic.‎ furthermore, there is the all-wood Chaise Tout Bois, whose design is basically the same as the Standard chair.‎ During World War II, Jean Prouvé reacted to the restricted stock of metal with a rendition made altogether out of facade and strong wood.‎
