Description

Jean PROUVE (1901 - 1984) Model created in 1947, produced until 1953 Low pedestal table Structure on three legs joined by a folded sheet-steel frame supporting a round top Solid oak and oak plywood H. 35 cm - D. 95 cm Stains, scratches Bibliography : - Patrick SULZER, Jean Prouvé. Complete Works, Vol. 2: 1934-1944, Birkhäuser, Basel, 2000, schematic model p. 310 - Patrick SULZER, Jean Prouvé. OEuvre Complète Vol. 3: 1944-1954, Birkhäuser, 2005, technical drawing and similar model, p.152 - Patrick SEGUIN, Jean Prouvé, Galerie Patrick Seguin, Paris, 2017, vol. 1 similar model p. 312-319, 325 - Patrick SEGUIN, Jean Prouvé, Galerie Patrick Seguin, Paris, 2017, vol. 2, similar model, p.21 The first drawings of Jean Prouvé's low pedestal table appeared in 1943. Its construction is simple and accomplished. Three legs are joined by folded sheet-metal crosspieces that fit into them. Fasteners consolidate the tripod. The free-standing tripod can be fitted with a stone, glass or wood top. The latter is attached to the base. Originally designed for Atlas, the 95 cm-diameter pedestal table will be produced in several versions with different heights and circumferences. Charlotte Perriand used a series entirely in African red wood for the Air France building in Brazzaville. Its aesthetic is light. The three legs are reminiscent of the uprights of a slatted visitor's chair. Some archive photos show Jean Prouvé seated in the armchair we sold at the "Les Prouvé de Jean Prouvé" sale, October 17, 2023, opposite a low stone-topped pedestal table.
