Designed for a competition to furnish the student residence halls at the Cite Universitaire in Nancy, the Cite armchair is one of Jean Prouvé's early masterpieces. Prouvé himself used this dynamic looking armchair with distinctive runners made of powder-coated sheet steel and broad leather belts for armrests in the living room of his own home. Generous dimensions and inviting upholstery contribute to the great comfort of Cite.
