Jean_Prouvé Jean PROUVE 1901 - 1984 Jean Prouvé a traversé la presque totalité de ce siècle en restant en permanence en état de recherche. La maison qu'il s'est construite, en 1954, sur les collines dominant Nancy en est un témoignage. Prouvé occupait une place unique dans le milieu architectural; il était arrivé à maîtriser la fabrication, la réalité même de l'objet architectural. Sa pensée est une pensée active, elle s'exprime en terme d'économie, elle parle de la naissance des formes, jamais de l'objet fini. Il était l'homme moderne. Prouvé dénonçait le maintien de l'enseignement loin de la connaissance de la matière. Entre Prouvé et Le Corbusier, il y avait une différence de regard vis-à-vis du machinisme. (texte de Laurent Beaudouin paru dans la revue d'architecture AMC de juin 1984) L'oeuvre de Jean Prouvé a une force qui nous est révélée immédiatement. A être trop visible, beaucoup ne l'y ont pas vue. Nous parlerons de l'une de ses oeuvres les plus exemplaires, sa maison particulière.

Philippe Starck Photography: David Vintiner/Camera Press/Redux Philippe Starck has said that he can design a chair in two minutes and a hotel in a day and a half. Preferring to work alone, sometimes “naked in the bedroom,” the Frenchman has devised thousands of products, interiors, and buildings for clients ranging from Microsoft to Baccarat. HBR: What’s the secret to working so quickly and productively? Starck: I am sort of a modern monk. It sounds as if you don’t like working with others. I never collaborate—not because I don’t like other people but because I am not able to do it. Do you ever talk to customers or end users? No. But to manage so much, you must need to delegate some things. My way is to not delegate. How do you pick the people on your team? I have very few people—a nanoteam—because I believe in staying as light as possible. Are you a good boss? I manage by absence. What qualities do you look for in your clients? First, ethics.

Although his architecture is largely out of style — the apex of 20th century functionalism — his furniture is still a popular modernist touch in many contemporary interiors. After World War I, women had more opportunities than they had before, but they were still barred from many professions. Inspired by Le Corbusier’s publications, Vers une Architecture (Towards an Architecture) and L’Art Décoratif d’Aujourd’hui (Today’s Decorative Arts), she applied for a job at his atelier in 1927, and was famously rejected with the line, “We don’t embroider cushions here” (Charming!). It is Perriand who, alongside Le Corbusier and Jeanneret, designed the pieces we associate with the main man (image 2). Perriand, Le Corbusier and Jeanneret designed several chairs that year, each with specific purposes.
