Item Description
When authenticity, scarcity, and industrial poetry intersect, you get the Fauteuil Direction — and this is no ordinary example. Limited Edition Fauteuil Direction, originally designed by the legendary Jean Prouvé and produced in 2009 by Vitra in collaboration with G-Star RAW. This is from the highly coveted 2009 edition that was made specially and only for the G-Star headquarters. This edition with Naugahyde seat and back was never available to the general public. Numbered 224 of only very few ever made. Unlike later runs, this inaugural edition captures the raw, unapologetic spirit of Prouvé’s vision — structural honesty expressed through sheet steel, Naugahyde and solid oak. The collaboration with G-Star amplified its cult status, fusing Prouvé’s construction logic with contemporary edge. Authenticated with: · Steel labels embossed on the underside · Plastic labels on one leg, confirming limited first-edition origin · Jean Prouvé – The master of engineered furniture, whose pieces belong in museums and top collections. · Vitra – Uncompromising production quality. · G-Star RAW – A fashion-meets-design moment that shaped 21st-century collecting. This is not just a chair. It’s a signed artifact from a watershed moment in limited-edition design. Secure it before it disappears into another private archive.
