This desk, designed by Jean Prouvé in 1953, is raw yet elegant and classic modernist furniture. The thin metal legs, formally recalling the shape of a compass, define the piece's characteristic shape. The desk, with its outstanding, straightforward yellow drawer, is a beautiful and timeless centerpiece. Because of its simplistic design, the desk has become a popular object in modernist design history.
Jean Prouvé was a French designer. During his lifetime, he created restrained metal objects that rejected excessive decoration. Working with Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, as well as Le Corbusier, Prouvé created his simple yet breathtaking furniture.
