Fauteuil léger dit "Chaise Antony" (n°356)
1956
The Central table or Trapeze table uses the trapezoidal legs that Jean Prouvé had developed in 1930 for lecture-hall seats. Like the metal crossbar, the legs are finished in baked enamel; they support a large rectangular top that may be as long as 3.30 m, as in this example intended for the Antony student residences. Prouvé designed Light Armchair No. 365, called the Antony Chair, in early 1955. The metal frame is designed as three elements: onto a wide-diameter cross-tube are welded four legs and two braces supporting a seat of beechwood ply fastened by metal rivets.
