The lounger available here comes from the Sanatorium Martel de Janville and has been completely restored with a new mattress and cushion, the steel frame has been professionally re-lacquered. The model has an adjustable backrest, oak armrests and a seat in wire mesh stretched over a tubular structure in lacquered metal.

As often with Jean Prouvé’s furniture, the shape of the chaise longue is both simple and elegant. The beautiful collector’s item stays functional and comfortable thanks to the professional restoration.
