Chair Wednesday : Standard Chair by Jean Prouvé





 This is the famous Standard Chair by Jean Prouvé. A modern classic chair that I would love to see in schools and business offices. You can order it here for $780.00.

Αυτή είναι η διάσημη Standard Chair , σχεδιασμένη από τον
Jean Prouvé. Μοντέρνας αισθητικής, έχει γίνει πλέον ένα κλασσικό και αναγνωρίσμο κομμάτι στον κόσμο του Design. Προσωπικά θα ήθελα να τη βλέπω περισσότερο σε επαγγελματικούς χώρους ακόμη και αν ξεχάσουμε για λίγο την τιμή της, θα ταίριαζε καταπληκτικά ακόμη μέσα σε μια σχολική αίθουσα. Κοστίζει $780.00 και μπορείς να την παραγγείλεις από εδώ.

  1. Just as captivating Replica Watches, it emanates from the Moon, a sense of mystery. Every evening, its form change from Replica Breitling watches delicate shade of the new moon to the cut Crescent "D" in its ascending phase, then Audemars piguet replica to 'C'-shaped Crescent during his downswing. The Classico Luna is a self-winding watch. The moon phase is adjusted using a checker located between 5 and 6 hours.
