The Vitra Standard SP (Siège en Plastique) brings the iconic Standard Chair up-to-date without changing anything about its form: a seat and backrest of robust plastic in a carefully chosen colour palette give Standard SP a contemporary look.
The plastic elements can be combined in various colours and easily switched out or replaced. To match the plastic surface, the bases feature a resistant, matt powder coating.
Jean Prouve was born into an artistic family in Nancy, France. Prouve trained as a metalsmith before attending engineering school in Nancy, and his intimate knowledge of metal remained the foundation of his work and career.
After opening his own workshop in 1923, Prouve began producing modern metal furniture of his own design as well as collaborating with some of the best-known French designers of the day, including Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand.
