[.fr] L’architecte et designer Jean Prouvé est reconnu comme l’un des pionniers de la production innovante du mobilier et de l’architecture du XX° siècle. Son esprit d’avant-garde, doublé de préoccupations humanistes, conserve aujourd’hui toute son actualité. Le coffret en deux volumes, de plus de 750 pages, est une réédition largement enrichie de l’ouvrage de référence, désormais épuisé, édité par la Galerie Patrick Seguin en 2007. Cette nouvelle publication, à la fois didactique et complète, présente, par typologie, l’ensemble de l’oeuvre du créateur dans le domaine du mobilier mais également de l’architecture. En effet, un nouveau chapitre entièrement consacré à sa production architecturale révèle toute l’étendue et la richesse du travail de Jean Prouvé.

[.en] This exquisitely produced and comprehensive slipcased publication, edited by Paris’ Galerie Patrick Seguin, is a new and enlarged edition of the original two-volume Jean Prouvé monograph that was published in 2007 to fill a hole in the previously existing scholarship, most of which had focused on Prouvé’s architecture. Featuring a redesigned cover and graphics, it adds presentations of each house exhibited by Galerie Patrick Seguin (with archival images, plans and contemporary photos); an expanded selection of private international collections with photography of Prouvé furniture; and a catalog of Prouvé exhibitions organized by Galerie Patrick Seguin from 1990 to 2016. Also included (from the original edition) are a collection of interviews with collectors and design professionals; a detailed biography of Prouvé by his daughter, Catherine Prouvé; and essays by design historian Raymond Guidot and architecture historian Catherine Coley. Today the oeuvre of Prouvé is considered essential to the history of 20th-century design. Prouvé’s furniture designs were determined by the interior spaces the pieces would inhabit, and they were developed in tandem with the modernist principles of the “art of living” and “harmonious habitat” that were so characteristic of the time. This volume celebrates the unity of his brilliant vision.
