The Standard Chair, based on Chair No. 4, was introduced in 1934 by French designer and architect Jean Prouvé. The self-taught architect and designer worked fastidiously for years to perfect the material and design of the iconic chair, and completed a standard edition that could be mass-produced in the 1950s. Exemplifying a timeless design, incredible durability, affordable price, and multifunctionality, the Standard Chair is the archetype model that has raised the bar for chair design.
