From 16 to 22 June, on the occasion of Design Miami/Basel 2014, Galerie Patrick Seguin is pleased to present the unprecedented F 8×8 BCC House designed in 1942 by Pierre Jeanneret and Jean Prouvé.
The F 8×8 BCC House is the result of the collaboration between Pierre Jeanneret and Jean Prouvé and it is a perfect example of the practical application of the “axial portal frame” constructional system that Prouvé designed and patented in 1938. Adapted to the shortage of metal during the war, the F 8×8 BCC House was made entirely of wood.
June 2014 – The Galerie Patrick Seguin, specializing in furniture and architecture of the 20th century, is pleased to announce a new publication: Le Corbusier – Pierre Jeanneret, Chandigarh, India.

Illustrated with photographs dating from the time period to the present, this book documents both the architectural project and the importance of the production of furniture.
