The Standard chair by the French designer Jean Prouvé for Vitra has evolved into one of the most iconic designs in his portfolio. The seat and backrest are available in various types of wood, and the metal frame comes in different colours. Prouve was aware that chairs take the most stress on their back legs, where they bear the weight of the user's upper body. With this knowledge the engineer and designer Jean Prouvé illustrated this simple insight in his distinctive design for the Standard chair: while steel tubing suffices for the front legs, since they bear a relatively light load, the back legs are made of voluminous hollow sections that transfer the primary stress to the floor.
