designed by Jean Prouvé, 1936

Jean Prouvé’s Tabouret Métallique is a practical stool that also serves as a small side table. The 1936 design is defined by its base made from bent sheet steel. Its construction anticipates principles Prouvé later developed for the Trapèze table.

The entire piece has a powder-coated finish and is fitted with plastic glides. Four colours are available: Prouvé Blanc Colombe, Japanese red, Prouvé Bleu Marcoule and deep black. With a height of 44.5 cm, it works beside a sofa or as occasional seating. Temporary outdoor use is possible, but prolonged exposure to rain, snow and direct sunlight should be avoided; sheltered outdoor spaces are suitable.
