Magazine C Standard Chair

The Standard Chair, based on Chair No. 4, was introduced in 1934 by French designer and architect Jean Prouvé. The self-taught architect and designer worked fastidiously for years to perfect the material and design of the iconic chair, and completed a standard edition that could be mass-produced in the 1950s. Exemplifying a timeless design, incredible durability, affordable price, and multifunctionality, the Standard Chair is the archetype model that has raised the bar for chair design. C delves into virtually every aspect of the Standard chair, from French designer and architect Jean Prouvé’s design story, the way Chair No. 4 continuously evolved into its ultimate form as the iconic chair, and the manufacturing process by Vitra, a furniture company that produces the chair today. The issue also features in-depth interviews with collectors from around the world who use the Standard chair in their daily lives, illuminating the modern classic’s impact on contemporary life and values like standardization, practicality, and timeless aesthetic.
