A Passion for Jean Prouvé
Steel with soul. Architecture in motion. Design as civic duty.

Jean Prouvé didn’t just build furniture—he engineered ideas. Portable classrooms, prefab housing, riveted metal chairs that feel like sculpture—his work was rooted in utility, but elevated by elegance. A Passion for Jean Prouvé is a sweeping visual and critical tribute to one of the most quietly influential designers of the 20th century.

Edited and introduced by Parisian gallerist Patrick Seguin, this volume collects essays, photography, and archival materials from architects, curators, and collectors who’ve spent decades studying—and living with—Prouvé’s work. It’s as much about the objects as the philosophy: the belief that good design should be democratic, durable, and beautifully direct.

At Canyon Creative Studio, we revere makers who think structurally and act purposefully. A Passion for Jean Prouvé is both blueprint and beacon—essential for architects, designers, and anyone who believes in design that serves.
