Prouvé Retrouvé
A new fangled approach to Jean Prouvé
Sometimes mankind has to go back in order to go forward. At the Design Miami/Basel event this year, it was Jean Prouvé who was the shiniest star. Through the inadvertent forming of a partnership between Vitra and G-Star, 17 items of furniture by this seminal designer have been revamped to reflect a freshly applied approach by the brazen jeans label. And, curiously, there’s not a scrap of denim in sight.
