The forthcoming publication on Laurence and Patrick Seguin\u2019s private collection is set to be an exceptional tribute to the visionary work of JEAN PROUV\u00c9<\/a><\/strong>, iconic figure of 20th-century design and architecture. Through a meticulously compiled selection of furniture (primarily prototypes or rarely-seen pieces), architectural elements and demountable houses, the book plunges us into Prouv\u00e9\u2019s singular world where aesthetics are placed at the service of function. <\/p>\n

This new, fully bilingual publication presents the collection of work by Jean Prouv\u00e9<\/a> assembled by Laurence and Patrick Seguin over the years. Generously illustrated with contemporary photographs and previously unpublished archive drawings, it brings to light a wide range of pieces designed by Prouv\u00e9 over more than three decades. <\/p>\n

Leading collectors and champions of Jean Prouv\u00e9<\/a>\u2019s work, Laurence and Patrick Seguin<\/a> take us on a tour of their private collection, which brings together emblematic pieces by the \u201cconstructor\u201d, some rare and little known, such as the 1939 Saint-Br\u00e9vin table, and others iconic, such as the M\u00e9tropole chair or the 1930 Cit\u00e9 armchair. Exploring the architecture of this impressive collection is an invitation to fully immerse oneself in the very heart of modern design. <\/p>\n

\u00ab Over the years, Jean Prouv\u00e9 has established himself as the cornerstone of this collection, because his modernity prefigured many contemporary approaches, and because we live with his creations on a daily basis. There is a real dialogue, a real synergy, between his furniture and contemporary art. \u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n

Offering intimate insight on the theme of \u201cliving with a collection\u201d, this publication illustrates how these superb pieces, acquired since the end of the 1980s, integrate seamlessly into the daily life of Laurence and Patrick Seguin. Between their apartment, their Paris gallery, and their estate in the south of France (Var), where the demountable houses are installed in the open air in a conversation with nature, this collection embodies a profound passion for Prouv\u00e9\u2019s work and attests to the way his creations continue to thrive and inspire. This unique private collection, here presented as a cohesive ensemble, is shown at exhibitions or for special projects such as this exclusive publication. <\/p>\n

A preface by Laurence and Patrick Seguin<\/a> is followed by an essay by architect, historian and architectural theorist Mark Wigley. Known for his research and writing on contemporary architecture, he is Professor of Architecture at Columbia University (New York), where he teaches and heads research on architectural history. <\/p>\n

Faisant suite \u00e0 une s\u00e9rie d\u2019expositions salu\u00e9es en France, au Japon et en Italie, cet ouvrage raffin\u00e9 consacre un chapitre aux quatre expositions remarquables d\u00e9di\u00e9es \u00e0 Jean Prouv\u00e9,<\/a> organis\u00e9es entre 2014 et 2022 par la GALERIE PATRICK SEGUIN<\/a><\/strong>. Ces \u00e9v\u00e9nements, qui pr\u00e9sentaient des \u0153uvres choisies parmi leur collection personnelle, se sont tenus en collaboration avec la Pinacoth\u00e8que Giovanni e Marella Agnelli \u00e0 Turin, l\u2019Ambassade de France \u00e0 Tokyo, le Ch\u00e2teau La Coste (Sud de la France) et le Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, faisant ainsi rayonner la collection \u00e0 l\u2019international. <\/p>\n
