Item Description
The streamlined shape of the two wall brackets of the Rayonnage Mural bookcase (1936) is a recurring element in Prouvé’s creative oeuvre. Executed in Prouvé Blanc Colombe (ecru) enameled steel and natural oak, this beautiful piece is practical and a wonderful sculpture at the same time. Marked with label as shown. Jean Prouvé (1901–1984) was a French designer, architect, and engineer known for his innovative approach to construction and industrial design. Combining craftsmanship with industrial techniques, he revolutionized furniture and prefabricated structures. His work, characterized by clean lines and functional aesthetics, included iconic pieces like the Standard Chair and the prefabricated Maison Tropicale. Prouvé’s expertise in lightweight, modular construction influenced modern architecture and design. He collaborated with architects such as Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand, leaving a lasting impact on 20th-century design.
