The Standard Chair is one of Jean Prouvé’s most recognisable designs, practical, honest, and built to last. At a glance, it looks simple. But the thicker rear legs, made from hollow metal, do the heavy lifting where it’s needed most, while the front legs stay slim and light. Originally designed for everyday use, it still feels just as relevant today, solid, comfortable, and straightforward. Whether around a dining table or in a workspace, it’s a quiet classic that does its job without fuss.
