Jean Prouvé Compas Direction Desk in Natural Oak and Black Metal for Vitra

Jean Prouvé Compas Direction Desk in Natural Oak and Black Metal for Vitra. Originally designed in 1953, Prouvé's iconic desk is based the design on the structural principles for which he is known. Common to all of them are the slender, elegantly splayed legs, which call to mind the hinged arms of a compass – 'le compas' in French. The oiled solid wood table top gives Compas Direction an individual touch. With its compact dimensions, the desk is ideal for the contemporary, largely paperless home office. Available in various types of wood, and the metal frame comes in different colors.
