Prouve (1901-1984) is one of the most influential furniture designers of early modern design. He designed the modern Standard chair (1934) and created wall-mounted book shelves (1954). In the mid-50s Prouve abandoned furniture production for prefabricated architecture. He designed his own house as a prototype-a major building block for prefab housing development.
