Vitra Tabouret 307 Low Stool

Manufacturer: Vitra

Designer: Jean Prouve, 1951

This is an original genuine Vitra piece.

In the early 1950's, Jean Prouve designed various stools that he named with different numbers. The seat of Tabouret N°307 has the shape of a tractor saddle - without holes - and is reminiscent of the seats in the lecture theatre at Aix-Marseille University, which Prouve designed around the same time.

Originally made of stamped aluminium sheeting, the ergonomic seat of Tabouret N°307 is crafted from solid oak in the version produced by Vitra. The interplay between the solid wooden seat and the graceful tubular steel legs makes for a fascinating contrast.

Tabouret N°307 is available in two versions: with the seat in light oak and base in Prouvé Blanc Colombe or with the seat in dark oak and base in deep black.

Materials: Base: steel, powder-coated finish.

Seat: solid natural oak with oiled finish or solid dark stained oak with clear protective lacquer finish.

Plastic glides.
