The "Cité" Armchair and Prouvé RAW Collection This exceptional armchair is a reimagined version of Jean Prouvé's original "Cité" armchair, designed in 1930. The limited edition, numbered 095, was produced in 2011 as part of the Prouvé RAW collection and a collaboration between Vitra and G-Star RAW. Jean Prouvé (1901–1984) was a pioneering French designer and architect, renowned for his innovative approach to industrial design. Regarded as an engineer throughout his lifetime, Prouvé's work spanned furniture, lighting, and prefabricated structures, emphasizing functionality and technical excellence. The original "Cité" armchair was designed by Prouvé in 1930 for the Cité Universitaire in Nancy, France. The 2011 Prouvé RAW collection revisited Prouvé's classic designs, updating them with contemporary materials and aesthetics. This collaboration resulted in pieces that honor Prouvé's legacy while embracing modern sensibilities.
