The Chaise Tout Bois Chair offers exceptional strength with its all-wood construction, designed by Jean Prouvé to provide reinforcement at the critical transition between seat and backrest. Its solid oak frame features a distinctive rear profile that efficiently transfers load weight, while the felt glides protect floor surfaces. The chair combines structural engineering with refined craftsmanship, and the dark oak finish adds natural warmth to any setting.
The only chair designed by Jean Prouvé that is constructed entirely from wood, 'Chaise Tout Bois' partly came to be as a result of circumstance — wood was substituted for metal due to the scarcity of metal during the Second World War. The clean and contemporary chair is the conclusion of Prouvé's mission to provide extra strength at the transition point between the seat and backrest, where the load weight of a sitting person is the greatest. The resulting concept presents a typical characteristic of Prouvé's furniture and architecture designs, with a reference to the load transfer in the profile of the rear frame section.
