The Vitra Chaise Tout Bois is a unique dining chair designed by Jean Prouvé, originally conceived in 1941 during a period of material scarcity. This chair stands out as Prouvé's sole design executed entirely in wood, reflecting his innovative approach to structure, where solid oak and moulded plywood replace the typical steel frame. Its design is structurally derived from his famous Standard chair, featuring rear legs and a backrest support shaped to optimally distribute body weight, ensuring both lasting integrity and ergonomic comfort. This specific version features a dark-stained oak finish and comes equipped with felt glides, making it suitable for hardwood floors. The construction avoids screws, relying instead on precise joinery and slots, a testament to Prouvé's functionalist ethos.
