Description from the seller
JEAN PROUVÉ "CONSTRUCTEUR" [1990 POMPIDOU OFFICIAL ATLAS]
Publisher: Centre Georges Pompidou
Year of publication: 1990
Size: Approx. 215 × 310 mm
Number of pages: Approx. 247 p
Language: French
This book is the official catalog of the retrospective exhibition "Jean Prouvé Constructeur" held at the Pompidou Center in 1990.
Along with a wide range of works such as furniture, architecture, and structures, the records of Jean Prouvé's thoughts and hands are summarized in one book.
A hardcover with an impressive bold handwritten typography on a black upholstered binding.
The blueprints, photos of the production site, and records of prototypes are contained in the middle, and the act of "construction" itself is quietly discussed.
Jean-Prouvé was not a person who designed shapes, but a person who shaped ideas through structure.
This book teaches us that tools, architecture, furniture, and all of them were connected in the philosophy of "construction = constructeur".
Jean Prouvé (8 April 1901 – 23 March 1984) was a French metal worker, self-taught architect and designer. Le Corbusier designated Prouvé a constructeur, blending architecture and engineering.
Prouvé's main achievement was transferring manufacturing technology from industry to architecture, without losing aesthetic qualities.
His design skills were not limited to one discipline. During his career Jean Prouvé was involved in architectural design, industrial design, structural design and furniture design.
This book might be interesting for those who enjoy architecture and design from Enzo Mari, Ettore Sottsass, Charlotte Perriand, such as George Nelson, Charles and Ray Eames, Hella Jongerius, Verner Panton, Frank Gehry, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Maarten Van Severen, Alvar Aalto, Alexander Girard, Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret, Wiel Arets, Eames, Eero Saarinen, and Alvar Aalto, etc.
Shipped and packed with utmost care.
