The sleek, elegant Cité Lounge Chair (1930) is one of French engineer-designer Jean Prouvé’s early masterpieces. Its distinctively angled, open steel arms and base are inset with leather straps, carving a dynamic silhouette with a rich material mix. The generous seat and back feature a height-adjustable neck cushion and seamless upholstery, available in a choice of fabric or leather. Originally designed to furnish the student residence halls at Cité Universitaire in Nancy, France, Prouvé liked this chair so much he used it in his own living room. Made in Denmark.
  • Designed by legendary French designer Jean Prouvé.
  • Dynamic angled silhouette with generous proportions.
  • Cushioned upholstery for comfort.
  • Choose from fabric or leather upholstery.

Jean Prouvé

“Never design anything that cannot be made,” Jean Prouvé once said. His practical body of work ranged from letter openers to doorknobs, furniture to modularly constructed buildings. Prouvé always regarded himself as more of an engineer, or “constructor,” than a designer. He never designed for the sake of form alone, concentrating instead on the essence of materials, connections, and production.
