This book is a collection of catalogue works published on the occasion of the exhibition "Jean Prouvé: From Chairs to Architecture" held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo from summer to autumn 2022. This is a valuable exhibition that introduces the works of Jean Prouvé (1901-1984), a French designer who had a great influence on 20th century architecture and industrial design, and it was a valuable exhibition where you could actually see 120 works up close. Prouvé's works, which can be said to be a symbol of simplicity because of their "logic, balance, and purity," are elegant designs that are highly artistic while also incorporating practical and industrial elements using steel and other materials. They are still popular with many collectors today. In this exhibition, art director Tamotsu Yagi, one of the world's leading collectors of Prouvé's works, is in charge of providing the works and directing the venue and catalog, making this the largest-ever exhibition of Prouvé's work, thanks to the many collaborators. English and Japanese are both included.
