prouvé em table
by Jean Prouvé, from Vitra.
prouvé em table
Design Jean Prouvé, 1950
Solid wood or HPL, bent sheet & tubular steel
Made in Germany by Vitra
"Prouvé combines the soul of an engineer with that of an architect" -Le Corbusier
Even the details of this table are determined by its construction. With every detail governed by its construction, the table follows the aesthetics of necessity. The elegance of "EM" can be attributed to the slight slant of the legs illustrating the force vectors and static connections in a way that is otherwise only familiar in the context of civil engineering works. Prouvé developed it for the "Maison Tropique", a project for prefabricated housing, at the beginning of the fifties as a variation of an earlier design. The "EM" table is especially suitable within the domestic context as a dining or work table.
Em table is offered in 5 size options and features either an HPL (high pressure laminate) top & edge or 3 oiled solid wood options (natural oak, smoked oak or American walnut). The base is powder-coated bent sheet steel and tubular steel.
Note: the steel frame in Métal Brut has a raw irregular surface protected by a transparent powder coating.

Jean Prouvé
Jean Prouvé (1901-1984) was a self-taught architect and designer who first apprenticed as a blacksmith and metalsmith. He grew up in Nancy, France surrounded by the ideals and energy of "l'École de Nancy," the art collective to which his father, Victor Prouvé, belonged. Its goals were to make art readily accessible, to forge links between art and industry, as well as between art and social consciousness. It would have a powerful influence on him. His designs reveal knowledge of the materials at hand, a commitment to collaboration between artists and craftsmen, and an attention to evolving technical developments. In 1947 he built the Maxéville factory where he produced furniture and undertook extensive architectural research on the uses of aluminum. Though he used sheet metal extensively, he rejected the use of steel tubing which was popular with the concurrent Bauhaus movement.
Vitra is a Swiss company dedicated to improving the quality of spaces through the power of design. Product longevity is central to the company goal of sustainable development. Short lived styling is avoided in favor of classical pieces of furniture that can be used for decades, have several owners and end up as part of a collection.
