The problems set by furniture are just as complex as those involved with large structures.” —Jean Prouvé A presentation of Jean Prouvé’s demountable wood chair CB 22, in collaboration with Galerie Patrick Seguin (@galeriepatrickseguin), closes at the Gagosian Shop in New York, today, June 30. The CB 22 chair, which was announced during the Meubles de France competition in 1947, is historically significant in that it underscores Prouvé’s ability to adapt and innovate, using wood at a juncture when materials such as steel were in short supply. The first “do-it-yourself” chair, it comprises two solid wood lateral bases held together by two braces bolted on the outside. The back and seat were initially fixed to the frame with screws, then with tapped studs, while the tubes protecting the braces are made of metal.
