Manufactured by Vitra and designed by Jean Prouvé this Standard SP Chair features a plastic seat and back with a black powder-coated steel base and showcases perfect minimalist style with its optimum weight distribution and masterful balance.

An engineer architect and designer all at once Jean Prouvé called himself ‘le Constructeur’ or ‘The Factory man’ and was driven by systematic design and industrial processes.

Designed in 1934 the Standard Chair reflects his simple insight that seating designs take the most strain on the back legs; solving this weight distribution issue Prouvé created lightweight tubular powder-coated steel front supports and stronger more voluminous hollow steel back legs that transfer the sitter’s weight into the floor.

Finished with a plastic seat and backrest the Standard SP Chair in black epitomises comfortable clean-lined design that endures through the years.
