The story behind the Jean Prouvé Guéridon Table
Jean Prouvé was one of the true mavericks of 20th Century design in Europe; always looking to innovate, adapt and produce shapes and combinations that nobody had ever seen before. First produced for the University of Paris, the Guéridon table was the result of just such an experiment, as Prouvé sought to prove that modern furniture did not need to be dominated by metal and glass. His use of shaped wood and eye-catching honed legs, showed that an understanding of architectural form and principles could produce items that were truly beautiful.
