C Magazine #1 Standard Chair

(Issue No. 1)

Discover the history and impact of the Standard Chair, designed by the legendary designer and self-taught architect Jean Prouvé. Introduced in 1934 and perfected over the years, this chair based on Chair No. 4 saw the light of day in its final version in the 1950s, designed for mass production while maintaining exceptional quality.

With its timeless design, incredible robustness and versatility, the Standard Chair is much more than just a piece of furniture: it is an essential reference in modern industrial design. It perfectly embodies Prouvé's vision, combining technical innovation, functionality and accessibility.

In this edition, C Magazine explores Prouvé's meticulous efforts to transform the Standard Chair into an iconic model, as well as its lasting influence on contemporary design and the furniture industry.
