VINTAGE METAL FRAME DESK CHAIR, PROUVE-STYLE 1950s (UK DELIVERY INC.)

A great completely solid MCM chair sourced from Manchester University.

A metal framed design similar in line to Jean Prouvé 'Standard Chair' this functional style has the perfect amount of wear to paint for an authentic industrial look.

Fantastically robust and functionally versatile, this hair works equally well in domestic settings or as public seating in cafés and restaurants. It would make a great desk or occasional chair.

The back piece of plywood is missing but as this has a ladder back design made from tubular steel it doesn't matter and we think it looks better!

Measures: overall height 79cm

seat 37cm x 37cm

overall dimensions 55cm length x 43cm width

seat height 45cm

Notes: PLEASE REVIEW PHOTOS AS THEY FORM PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.

This is an authentic 1950s piece and is being sold as seen as the patina and paint colour are really good!

The paint has worn, perfectly in our opinion, so has the plywood, having a warm wooden patina.

The back panel is missing however we feels this adds to the deign as the ladder detail is great and the frame itself has a modernist shape to it.

The Standard Chair History

Designed in the mid 1900's by Jean Prouvé. He knew that chairs take the most strain on their back legs so designed the standard chair which consists of tubular steel piping for the front legs that take relatively little strain, whereas the back legs are made of voluminous hollow sections which pass the strain to the floor, an industrial look with functionality and class.
