Prouvé Cité Lounge Chair

The sleek, elegant Cite Lounge Chair (1930) is one of French engineer-designer Jean Prouve's early masterpieces. Its distinctively angled, open steel arms and base are inset with leather straps, carving a dynamic silhouette with a rich material mix. The generous seat and back feature a height-adjustable neck cushion and seamless upholstery, available in a choice of fabric or leather. Originally designed to furnish the student residence halls at Cite Universitaire in Nancy, France, Prouve liked this chair so much he used it in his own living room. Made in Denmark.
