Vintage Design
Authentic Jean Prouvé monitor’s / observer’s-desk made of a green tubular steel frame (the typical metallic green that Prouvé often uses) that supports a massive oak top. On the right side of the desk there’s a rounded oak shelf mounted to the inside of the desk. Jean Prouvé designed this desk in the 1950’s for the Lycée Jean Prouvé in Nancy, the northern-French Lorraine region’s capital. The desk is a completely authentic condition, without any structural damages at all. All the original screws and mounts are there, nothing has been replaced or restored. The thick solid oak top has marks of use, if desired it can easily be sanded and lacquered to make it look as new again; but that would not add to the beautiful authentic look and feel of it.
