Description
The Form Of The Chaise Tout Bois Articulates Prouvé’S Intention To Provide Added Strength At The Transition Point Between The Seat And Backrest, Where The Load Weight Of The Human Anatomy Is Greatest. The Profile Of The Rear Frame Section – Back Legs And Backrest Support – Makes Reference To This Load Transfer And Is A Typical Characteristic Of Prouvé’S Designs For Both Furniture And Architecture.
In 1947, Prouvé Won An Award For The Chaise Tout Bois In The ‘Meubles De France’ Competition. The Concept Of The Competition Was To Find Attractive, High-Quality, Mass-Produced Furnishings To Meet The Post-War Needs Of Society – Particularly Refugees And Young Married Couples.
Chaise Tout Bois By Vitra Corresponds To One Of Jean Prouvé’S Design Variants From 1941, Whose Construction Does Not Require A Single Screw. The Height And Seat Geometry Are The Same As Those Of The Standard Chair And Thus Meet Current Norms And Requirements. The Warm Look And Feel Of Wood Contrast Appealingly With The Practical Structural Design, Which Is Typical Of Prouvé’S Functional Approach. Chaise Tout Bois Is Available In Light Oak Or Dark-Stained Oak.
