## Summary

Mid-century modern armchair featuring a black powder-coated tubular steel frame, solid wood armrests, and neutral upholstered seat and back.

## Description

With its distinctive lines and captivating mix of materials, Jean Prouvé’s 1951 armchair, the Fauteuil Direction, demonstrates his signature aesthetic – a commitment to utility that doesn’t sacrifice beauty. Building on the iconic shape of his Standard Chair (1934), the Fauteuil’s steel triangular back legs bear the brunt of the weight and its lithe tubular front legs handle the rest. The gently curved, upholstered seat and back conform comfortably to the body, while solid wood armrests offer warm support. This iconic piece by the great French constructeur sits just as easily at the dining table as it does in the home office. Made in Poland.
