Jean Prouve: Visiteur
Bent tubular steel, lacquered oak and sheet zinc construction. Although originally retailed with an upholstered seat and back, this chair’s use of sheet zinc is most unusual. The ball foot motif became increasingly popular throughout the 1950’s.
I think that this chair looks way to hard to sit on but, I do like the zinc metal that is used in the chair. I like it because it is unusual and that type of metal isn’t used very often on chairs. I think that it looks like its too short and low to the ground as well.
