About the Item

1950’s Compact Surveillant Desk – Atelier Jean Prouve. Prouvé is one of the most respected French designers of the 21st Century. Prouve regarded himself as an engineer, famously both designing and manufacturing his product ideas. Prouvé was perhaps best known for his modular building systems, he was intrigued by modular industrial production and was involved in every detail from the handle to the door. This listing is for the compact Surveillant Desk, a design fully attributed to Prouvé. The structural aqua metal frame is reminiscent of the work of Mullca and is a design well known in France, the rest of the desk is solidly made in oak. We found the desks in France in exceptional original condition and we have cleaned them that is all. Knee clearance: 64cm. Workshop Report: Our workshop team inspect every product and carry out any needed repairs to ensure that everything leaves us serviced and maintained ready for many more years of life. All of our vintage products show the rich beauty and history of their life with the knocks and bumps of many years of use and we try to minimise restoration to keep every piece as original as possible.
