Standard SP Chair is designed by Jean Prouvé for Vitra with base in bent sheet steel and tubular steel, powder-coated finish and with seat and backrest in ASA plastic (fine textured).
Standard is also available in the classic version with seat and backrest in wood or in SR model with upholstery.
Chairs take the most stress on their back legs, where they bear the weight of the user‘s upper body. The engineer, architect and designer Jean Prouvé incorporated this simple insight in his design for the Standard Chair: while steel tubing su ffices for the front legs, since they are subject to less stress, the back legs are made of voluminous hollow sections that transfer the primary weight to the floor.
Made of high quality plastic, the seat shell and backrest of the Standard SP (Siège en Plastique) chair by Jean Prouvé are available in a range of contemporary colours. This gives the iconic classic a fresh and modern look. The colour options match those of the EM Table with high-pressure laminate top, but also suit many other tables.
