prouvé table solvay
Design Jean Prouvé, 1941
Solid wood top & base, powder-coated tubular steel strut
Made in Germany by Vitra
"Prouvé combines the soul of an engineer with that of an architect" -Le Corbusier
During the years of 1941 and 1942, Jean Prouveé's studios planned and realized various interior design projects for the chemical company Solvay. Among his many designs of this time, there was also a wooden table that is a prime example of Prouveé's creations: The necessities of statics and the force path are clearly reflected in his design details - similar to the later EM Table that differs from the Table Solvay due to its metal table legs. When the Table Solvay was created during World War II, there was a metal shortage and so the table legs were made of wood.
The solid oiled woods give Table Solvay a high-quality homely feel and compensate for its cool design. Table Solvay is offered in 5 sizes and features solid oil in your choice of natural oak, smoked oak or American walnut. The Tubular steel strut is powder-coated (smooth) black.
