Standard Chair
Jean Prouve, 1934
Acknowledging that the back legs of a classic four-legged chair support more of the sitter's weight, the Standard chair is constructed with wide back legs and slender front legs. Made by Vitra of lacquered sheet metal with plywood seat and back, it is recognized as the classic school chair in Europe. Whether in a domestic or a public setting, its quality is evident through its structural logic and unassuming aesthetics. $429
