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 catalogue of Prouvé exhibitions organized by Galerie Patrick Seguin from 1990 to 2016.

Today the oeuvre of Prouvé is considered essential to the history of 20th-century design.

This volume celebrates the unity of his brilliant vision. Volume I, 428 pages Volume II, 336 pages. Today the oeuvre of Prouvé is considered essential to the history of 20th-century design.
