The esteemed collectors Laurence and Patrick Seguin first discovered the work of Jean Prouvé in the late 1980s, and were quick to embrace his entire aesthetic vision, from architectural design to furniture. \"Every object to be created demands a basic, absolutely achievable ‘constructional idea’,\" Prouvé once famously said, and the Seguins have modeled their collection around his stance, becoming major advocates and disseminators of his work around the world through a litany of large-scale exhibitions. Following a series of acclaimed showcases in France, Japan and Italy, this refined catalog presents the Seguins’ complete collection of Prouvé’s furniture designs, architectural elements and his signature demountable houses. From Furniture to Architecture builds upon the hit 2013 volume A Passion for Jean Prouvé. With a silkscreen cover printed on canvas, the book is divided into several chapters. The first shows Prouvé’s works in the residential context of the Seguins’ homes. The second chapter generously illustrates the exhibitions in Japan, France and Italy. Following this is an abundantly illustrated index of each piece in the collection, documented with archival and contemporary plans, drawings and images. The final chapter offers an illustrated biography and bibliography. Jean Prouvé was born in Paris in 1901.

The third box set of Prouvé architectural work published by Galerie Patrick Seguin, this selection of projects demonstrates Prouvé’s ability to innovate and adapt to any circumstance or environment, highlighting his designs intended for mass production or quick construction. Each volume is also available individually.  This collection first examines the 1948 Maxéville Design Office, built as a prototype model to convince the public of the virtues of prefabricated housing. The second volume presents the 1944 6x9 Demountable House, intended for temporary mass housing for those displaced by World War II. The third showcases the 1950 Bouqueval Demountable School designed, once again, for mass production, this time to be used as a rural single-classroom school. The fourth volume, the 1940 SCAL Demountable Pavilion in Issoire, was another attempt at mass housing, and the final volume in the set features Prouvé’s family home in Nancy, France, built over three weekends in 1954.  Each volume details the project’s design, development and completion, with sketches, plans, diagrams and photographs. These in-depth explorations celebrate Prouvé’s distinctive style and demonstrate his remarkable dedication to cutting-edge forward-thinking.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52142521975057,"sku":"NLS9782909187228","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53037280854289,"sku":"NIN9782909187228","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9782909187228.jpg?v=1757580620"},{"product_id":"jean-prouve-carnac-demountable-house-book-jean-prouve-9782909187297","title":"Jean Prouvé: Carnac Demountable House","description":"Prouvé's first postwar temporary house designed for his own family, remarkable for its use of the axial portal frame pavilion\n\nWhile on vacation in 1946, Jean Prouvé (1901–84) began looking for a site to build a temporary 8 x 8 house that could accommodate his large family.
