In the early 1950s, Jean Prouvé designed various stools that he named with different numbers. The seat of Tabouret no.307 has the shape of a tractor saddle and is reminiscent of the seats in the lecture theatre at Aix Marseille University which Prouvé designed around the same time. Originally made of stamped aluminium sheeting, the ergonomic seat of Tabouret no.307 is now crafted from solid oak in the version produced by Vitra. The interplay between the solid wooden seat and the graceful tubular steel legs makes for a fascinating contrast.
The Tabouret 307 stool is available in two versions: with the seat in light oak and base in Ecru or with the seat in dark oak and base in deep black.

This product is designed by
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.
He 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, lighting and furniture, façade elements and prefabricated houses / modular building systems to large exhibition structures – essentially, almost anything that is suited to industrial production methods.
