Description
This book is a glorious introduction to the work of this brilliantly inventive 'constructeur". In explains his genius, Le Corbusier may have put it best when he observed that Prouvé combined 'the soul of an engineer with that of an archtiect'. Surely Prouvé's inspired use of forms and materials in the design of everthing from children's chairs to portable houses derived from these entwined passions. While many of his early commissions were for wealthy individuals and companies, it was not long before he branched out into mass manufacture, producing furnishings, even building parts for institutional clients.
