Book Synopsis

Aluminum and machine aesthetics: the entire Prouvé vision, from furniture to architecture

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. There is no difference between constructing a piece of furniture and constructing a building, Prouvé once famously said, and the Seguins have modeled their collection around his stance, becoming major advocates and disseminators of his work in France. This gorgeously produced volume, which presents the Seguins'' Prouvé collection for the first time, consequently provides a comprehensive overview of their holdings. An entire chapter is devoted to Prouvé works at the Seguins'' Paris residence. Other sections include an examination of Prouvé''s relevance to contemporary art; a chapter on Prouvé''s Aluminum Métropole House, a structure that exemplifies the brilliance of Prouv
