Description

Manufactured by Vitra, this Standard Chair in a Japanese red powder-coated steel and dark oak finish by Jean Prouvé is a French design classic that showcases perfect, minimalist style with its optimum weight distribution and masterful balance. An engineer, architect and designer all at once, Jean Prouvé called himself 'le Constructeur' or 'The Factory man' and was driven by systematic design and industrial processes. Designed in 1934, the Standard Chair reflects his simple insight that seating designs take the most strain on the back legs; solving this weight distribution issue, Prouvé created lightweight tubular powder-coated steel front supports and stronger, more voluminous hollow steel back legs that transfer the sitter's weight into the floor. Finished with an ergonomic dark oak wood seat and backrest, the Standard Chair in rich Japanese red epitomises comfortable, clean-lined design that endures through the years.


Our Stylist Says

I love the simple yet striking design of the standard chair, especially with its Japanese-inspired aesthetic and contrasting dark oak and red tones. It works well in modern or minimalist interiors, where its sleek lines add subtle sophistication. You can pair it with a variety of dining tables, from light wood to darker finishes, and it also looks great in more eclectic spaces when combined with textured or colourful accessories. Practical styling tips include keeping the surrounding decor neutral to highlight the chair’s design, or adding complementary dark wood accents to create a cohesive look. It’s a versatile piece that combines form and function effortlessly.
