A Bar Stool of Lucid Construction

For the Tabouret Haut, Jean Prouvé drew on a traditional bar stool form — a round seat disc resting on four long, canted legs. A chrome-plated steel ring is mounted to the inside of the legs at roughly a third of their height, both stiffening the construction and serving as a comfortable footrest. Prouvé's interpretation is distinguished by its unpretentious appearance, lucid construction, and harmonious proportions. Seat and legs are matched in the same oak finish.
