Description
The Rayonnage Mural bookcase by Vitra, designed by Jean Prouvé in 1936, is a hallmark of industrial design infused with artistic elegance. Inspired by the streamlined forms of early aircraft and ships, Prouvé created a wall-mounted bookcase that embodies both functionality and modern design principles. Its blend of engineering precision and minimalist beauty makes it a standout piece in any interior.
The defining feature of the Rayonnage Mural in Prouvé Bleu Marcoule is its distinctive wall brackets, extending outward like aircraft rudders or ship fins. These sculptural supports are integral to both the structure and visual impact of the bookcase, embodying Prouvé’s belief that utility and aesthetics should work together. The natural solid oak finish adds warmth, while the bold, architectural brackets give the bookcase its unique character.
With a focus on clean lines and structural integrity, the Rayonnage Mural balances practicality with design excellence. Its minimalist approach allows the materials and form to take centre stage, creating a piece that fits seamlessly in both contemporary and traditional spaces, all while maintaining a timeless and refined presence.
Dimensions: 118 x 25 x 70 cm
