The story behind this product
Designed as part of a commission for the University of Paris, Jean Prouvé’s Guéridon table pointed the way for furniture of the post-war period. The mix of angular shapes, crafted hardwoods and industrial inspired fixings are true to the mid-century modernist style, creating a functional piece of furniture that suits a range of interior spaces.
- Designed by Jean Prouvé in 1949 for the University of Paris, a demonstration of structured simplicity.

Meet the designer
Jean Prouvé
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Prouvé did not study architecture or design and instead trained as metal worker before opening his own workshop in Nancy in 1924. In the following years he created numerous furniture designs, and in 1947 Prouvé established his own factory with many of his pieces now produced exclusively by Vitra.
