Vitra Fauteuil Direction
Manufacturer: Vitra | Designer: Jean Prouvé, 1939
The Chair That Works at the Table
The Fauteuil Direction is a comfortable armchair especially suited for table seating. Its design exemplifies the constructive aesthetic for which Prouvé is so well known — every element of the frame follows from structural necessity, with nothing added for decoration. The compact form makes it ideal for the home office, particularly in combination with the Vitra Compas Direction Desk, and it works equally well as a dining chair or in lobbies, restaurants and waiting areas.
