Conférence Armchair by Jean Prouvé
30 Apr 2008 by David Goligorsky
Jean Prouvé has done some fascinating nearly-Bauhaus work, including this c. 1950 armchair. It does have Bauhaus school elements such as the sharp color contrast and choice of colors as well as the textural contrast of metal and Leatherette. I would very much like to admire this piece in person.

If you were in Paris, you could admire many armchairs and other design furniture from Jean Prouve in this gallery.
I will certainly visit when the opportunity arises. Currently, I am running through a list of possible justifications for buying the new two volume Jean Prouve book. ( http://www.amazon.com/Jean-Prouve-Catherine-Coley/dp/2909187004?ref=perpenduum-20 )
