Information
Vitra's Standard SP Chair (Siège en Plastique) builds a bridge from past to present, giving this iconic chair a contemporary look without altering its form: made of robust ASA plastic, the seat surface and backrest of Standard SP come in a palette of finely modulated colours. The durable satin finish of the powder-coated steel bases match the plastic surfaces of the chair.
The Standard SP Chair is a re-edition of the steel and plywood Standard Chair by engineer and designer Jean Prouvé. The chair family also includes the upholstered Standard SR Chair.
The Standard chair was originally designed by Prouvé in 1934 for the University of Nancy in France. It was engineered for longevity with a robust plywood seat and back and thick tubular rear legs to widely spread the weight of the user to the floor. In creating the Standard chair Prouvé made not only one of the most recognisable pieces of mid century design, but also defined an aesthetic approach which informs much of his furniture.
Jean Prouvé (1901-84) was a self-taught French architect and furniture maker. Prouvé believed that design was a moral issue. He championed mass-produced pieces for the public sector and created chairs, stools and desks for hospitals, schools and government departments.
