Jean Prouvé 1901-1984 " Prouvé is one of the greatest French designers of the 20th century. Working as a craftsman, designer, manufacturer, architect, teacher and engineer, his career spanned over sixty years. With remarkable elegance and economy of means, he designed prefabricated houses, building components and facades, as well as furniture for the home, office and school. Prouvé believed in the power of design to make a better world and his bold, reduced forms, inspired by the sparse aesthetic of aircraft design, have influenced strongly the British high-tech architects Rogers, Foster and Hopkins "

" Between 1949 and 1951, Jean Prouvé was commissioned to produce three prototype prefabricated tropical houses to address the shortage of housing and civic buildings in the French colonies of West Africa. Les Maisons Tropicales can be seen as the most elegant expression of Prouvé's love of mobility. The ability to construct and dismantle was fundamental to Prouvé's work and is evident in his designs for chairs, tables, tents and buildings. Les Maisons Tropicales are the culmination of twenty years of experimentation by Prouvé into the prefabrication and industrial production of buildings. Two were erected in Brazzaville, in the Republic of Congo, in 1951. "
