Vitra Tabouret Haut Stool

Manufacturer: Vitra

Designer: Jean Prouve 1942

This is an original genuine Vitra piece.

For the design of Tabouret Haut Jean Prouve drew on a traditional type of bar stool that is still in common use today: a round seat disc resting on top of four long canted legs. A ring is mounted to the inside of the legs at about a third of their height from the floor increasing the rigidity of the construction and also serving as a comfortable footrest. Prouves interpretation of this classic type is distinguished by its simple unpretentious appearance lucid construction and harmonious proportions.
