Cité Armchair by Jean Prouvé for Vitra, 1990s, Set of 2

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Designed in 1930 for a competition to furnish the student residence halls at the Cité Universitaire in Nancy, the Cité armchair is one of Jean Prouvé's early masterpieces. Prouvé himself used this dynamic looking armchair – with distinctive runners made of powder-coated sheet steel and broad leather belts for armrests – in the living room of his own home.
