The Fauteuil Direction Pivotant is an office chair with the aesthetic characteristic of the work of Jean Prouvé. It is extremely comfortable, thanks to its generous cushions and its ability to adapt to everyone. Its backward tilt mechanism allows you to adjust the strength of the backrest and even lock it in the position that suits you best. Its wide armrests, in solid oiled wood, ensure support and stability, while giving a note of lightness and freshness to a very industrial chair.

Jean Prouvé
Jean Prouvé completed his training as a metal artisan before opening his own workshop in Nancy in 1924. In the following years he created numerous furniture designs, and in 1947 Prouvé established his own factory. Due to disagreements with the majority shareholders, he left the company in 1953. During the ensuing decades, Prouvé served as a consulting engineer on a number of important architectural projects in Paris.
Jean Prouvé left his mark on architectural history again in 1971, when he played a major role in selecting the design of Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers for the Centre Pompidou as chairman of the competition jury. Prouvé's work encompasses a wide range of objects, from a letter opener to door and window fittings, from lighting and furniture to façade elements and prefabricated houses, from modular building systems to large exhibition structures – essentially, almost anything that is suited to industrial production methods.
In close cooperation with the Prouvé family, Vitra began in 2002 to issue re-editions of designs by this great French constructeur.
