Description
In the 1950s, Jean Prouvé designed the table Compas Direction in several versions, applying the construction principles for which he is world-famous. The Vitra brand has decided to reissue this domestic desk with its distinctive base, featuring slender metal legs like the shape of a compass. With its compact dimensions, the Compass Direction desk fits perfectly into the home with an oiled solid wood top available in several finishes, and adds a warm note to the office space.

Jean PROUVE
Born in Paris in 1901, Jean Prouvé apprenticed as a silversmith with Emile Robert in Enghien and Szabo in Paris, before continuing his studies at the Ecole Supérieure de Nancy. From 1923 onwards, he established himself as a builder-designer through a body of architectural and furniture work that advocated an aesthetic of necessity. In 1930, he co-founded the artists' association "Union des Artistes Modernes" (U.A.M.), and in 1931 he created "Les Ateliers Jean Prouvé". It was here that many pieces of furniture were created in the 1930s, as well as the first prefabricated architectural elements. His university furniture, Cité (1931) and Antony (1954), ingeniously manage utilitarian aspects, respect for and economy of material and the demands of mass production. For some years now, Vitra has been reissuing the finest examples of its furniture production. Among his greatest design classics is Antony, a unique armchair. The latter stands out for its surprising structure, which Jean Prouvé combined with a strikingly dynamic form. Another example is the Potence swivel wall lamp designed in 1950 for the "Tropique" house, rightly considered to be the designer's purist masterpiece.
