Closely researched and lovingly designed appreciations of demountable homes, schools and offices by Jean ProuvéThis new collection of five clothbound volumes on Jean Prouvé (1901-84), iconic French architect and designer, provides a close examination of the plans and processes of a famed design mind. The third box set of Prouvé architectural work published by Galerie Patrick Seguin, this selection of projects demonstrates Prouvé's ability to innovate and adapt to any circumstance or environment, highlighting his designs intended for mass production or quick construction. Each volume is also available individually. This collection first examines the 1948 Maxéville Design Office, built as a prototype model to convince the public of the virtues of prefabricated housing. The second volume presents the 1944 6x9 Demountable House, intended for temporary mass housing for those displaced by World War II. The third showcases the 1950 Bouqueval Demountable School designed, once again, for mass production, this time to be used as a rural single-classroom school. The fourth volume, the 1940 SCAL Demountable Pavilion in Issoire, was another attempt at mass housing, and the final volume in the set features Prouvé's family home in Nancy, France, built over three weekends in 1954. Each volume details the project's design, development and completion, with sketches, plans, diagrams and photographs. These in-depth explorations celebrate Prouvé's distinctive style and demonstrate his remarkable dedication to cutting-edge forward-thinking.

Jean Prouvé began to design portable and demountable barracks for the French army during the Second World War. After the war, the French government commissioned Prouvé to design inexpensive, effective housing for the newly homeless, prompting him to perfect his patented axial portal frame to build easily constructed demountable houses. Few of these groundbreaking structures were built, making them exceedingly rare today--prompting Galerie Patrick Seguin's tireless efforts over the past 27 years to preserve and promote these important designs. The gallery owns the largest collection of Prouvé's demountables, 22 in total. The second in Galerie Patrick Seguin's series of boxed sets on Prouvé's demountable architecture, Jean Prouvé Architecture: 5 Volume Box Set No. 2 compiles five further volumes of research on these structures: monographs on the Metropole Demountable House, the 6 x 6 Demountable House (adapted by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners), the Villejuif Temporary School, the 4 x 4 Military Shelter and the Les Jours Meilleurs Demountable House. Each monograph (available individually or as part of this limited-edition box set) focuses on a single building, and is luxuriously illustrated with archival and contemporary photographs. Though lacking any formal education in architecture, Jean Prouvé (1901-84) became one of the most influential architects of the 20th century, boldly experimenting with new building designs, materials and methods. "His postwar work has left its mark everywhere," wrote Le Courbusier, "decisively."

The definitive catalog of the largest private collection of Jean Prouvé's works, encompassing all aspects of his practical, utilitarian design ethos The esteemed collectors Laurence and Patrick Seguin first discovered the work of Jean Prouvé in the late 1980s, and were quick to embrace his entire aesthetic vision, from architectural design to furniture. "Every object to be created demands a basic, absolutely achievable 'constructional idea'," Prouvé once famously said, and the Seguins have modeled their collection around his stance, becoming major advocates and disseminators of his work around the world through a litany of large-scale exhibitions. Following a series of acclaimed showcases in France, Japan and Italy, this refined catalog presents the Seguins' complete collection of Prouvé's furniture designs, architectural elements and his signature demountable houses.From Furniture to Architecture builds upon the hit 2013 volume A Passion for Jean Prouvé. With a silkscreen cover printed on canvas, the book is divided into several chapters. The first shows Prouvé's works in the residential context of the Seguins' homes. The second chapter generously illustrates the exhibitions in Japan, France and Italy. Following this is an abundantly illustrated index of each piece in the collection, documented with archival and contemporary plans, drawings and images. The final chapter offers an illustrated biography and bibliography.Jean Prouvé was born in Paris in 1901. He opened his design workshop in Nancy in 1923 and began producing furniture the following year, to immediate success. Prouvé is best known for his innovative applications of new materials, with which he created extremely influential buildings and furniture--including several gas stations for Shell and Mobile. He died in Nancy in 1984. This book was published in conjunction with Litho Art New

A new and expanded slipcased edition of the 2007 monograph, with a particular focus on Prouvé's furniture designsThis exquisitely produced and comprehensive slipcased publication, edited by Paris' Galerie Patrick Seguin, is a new and enlarged edition of the original two-volume Jean Prouvé monograph that was published in 2007 to fill a hole in the previously existing scholarship, most of which had focused on Prouvé's architecture. Featuring a redesigned cover and graphics, it adds presentations of each house exhibited by Galerie Patrick Seguin (with archival images, plans and contemporary photos); an expanded selection of private international collections with photography of Prouvé furniture; and a catalog of Prouvé exhibitions organized by Galerie Patrick Seguin from 1990 to 2016. Also included (from the original edition) are a collection of interviews with collectors and design professionals; a detailed biography of Prouvé by his daughter, Catherine Prouvé; and essays by design historian Raymond Guidot and architecture historian Catherine Coley. Today the oeuvre of Prouvé is considered essential to the history of 20th-century design. Prouvé's furniture designs were determined by the interior spaces the pieces would inhabit, and they were developed in tandem with the modernist principles of the "art of living" and "harmonious habitat" that were so characteristic of the time. This volume celebrates the unity of his brilliant vision.

Jean Prouvé's avant-garde experimental personal family home

Twenty artists create works in conversation with furniturePièces-Meublés is the title of a two-part exhibition, held in 1995 and 2016, curated by New York art critic Bob Nickas at the invitation of Galerie Patrick Seguin. The 1995 exhibition compared contemporary art with 20th-century design, inviting around 20 artists to choose a piece of furniture to interact with their work or to integrate it by creating a new work. The 2016 exhibition was centered around Jean Prouvé, whose 6x6 dismountable house, the Maison des Sinistrés de Lorraine, had been installed at Galerie Patrick Seguin. Among the invited artists, some of whom participated in both exhibitions, were John Armleder, Richard Artschwager, Bertrand Lavier, Louise Lawler, Adam McEwen, Albert Oehlen, Haim Steinbach, Rudolf Stingel and Franz West. This book illustrates these two innovative exhibitions. Introduced with a substantial preface by Nickas, Pièces-Meublés is abundantly illustrated with in-situ photographs, as well as archival images for the furniture and architectural components of the shows.

In 1969, the French oil company Total began implementing a mass-production model for its gas stations--large ones for France's freeways, and the smaller roadside units. The company called in Jean Prouvé, who had already amply demonstrated his skills in the field of prefabrication. This volume documents this dimension of Prouvé's "demontable" architecture.

This revised edition of Patrick Seguin's 2013 volume on Jean Prouvé's Maison Démontable 8x8 Demountable House includes new images and layout. In 1938, continuing his research into demountable houses, Prouvé came up with the structural principle of the axial portal frame, which he patented the following year. He applied it to his government-commissioned eight-meter modules, documented here.

The Ateliers Jean Prouvé built the structure housing the Ferembal offices in Nancy in 1948. At the request of the Galerie Patrick Seguin, in 2010, architect Jean Nouvel undertook a thoroughgoing "adaptation" of the Prouvé building, demonstrating the enduring relevance of the method. This volume documents both projects.

This is the revised edition of Patrick Seguin's 2013 volume on Jean Prouvé's Maison Démontable 6x6 Demountable House. It includes new images and layout. At the end of the Second World War, Prouvé began designing temporary houses for the homeless in Lorraine and Franche-Comté in eastern France, using his patented axial frame as the basis for modules of various sizes.

"Shows how far ahead of his time Prouvé really was--as early as the 1930s he was designing temporary and modular housing that could be flat-packed, shipped, bolted together on site and inhabited within a matter of hours." -Jack Self, The Architectural ReviewThough lacking any formal education in architecture, Jean Prouvé (1901-1984) became one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century, boldly experimenting with new building designs, materials and methods. Prouvé was raised in an environment of artistic, socially motivated innovation: his father belonged to "l'École de Nancy," a collective that sought to unite art, industry and social awareness. He continued this practice throughout his adulthood, opening the Ateliers Jean Prouvé to manufacture standardized, economical goods on a mass scale--which, during World War II, included creating portable and demountable barracks. After the war, the French government commissioned Prouvé to design inexpensive, effective housing for the newly homeless, prompting him to perfect his patented axial portal frame to build easily constructed demountable houses. Despite their advantages, though, few of these architectural triumphs were built, and even fewer survive. In order to preserve Prouvé's architectural and engineering legacy, the Galerie Patrick Seguin has worked tirelessly to promote Prouvé's "constructional philosophy," exhibiting his designs and showcasing his ecologically responsible methodologies. Jean Prouvé Maison Démontable 8x8 Demountable House, the second of nine monographs published by the Galerie Patrick Seguin on Prouvé's housing modules, highlights the second of these modules. Introduced by Catherine Coley, renowned art and architectural historian, it contains Prouvé's sketches, black-and-white photographs of the designer at work and detailed examples of the building process.
