Rare ‘Métropole’ chair

Rare ‘Métropole’ chair

 

A striking and highly unusual interpretation of the iconic ‘Métropole’ 305 / Standard chair, originally designed by Jean Prouvé in the 1950s. This unique piece stands out for being entirely constructed from metal—a material configuration never produced by Prouvé himself. This chair is unmistakably shaped by his revolutionary approach to industrial aesthetics and structural function. The form pays clear homage to Prouvé’s engineering-driven philosophy, yet pushes it into a bold, full-metal expression. Likely created by a skilled mid-century master cabinetmaker, the piece reflects both reverence and innovation—making it a true conversation piece. With its sculptural presence and rare construction, this chair offers collectors a glimpse into how Prouvé’s ideas permeated the creative landscape of the time and inspired others to build upon his legacy. Collector’s item.
