Direction Armchair – Timeless design, designed for living

Some designs are not just furniture — they are a statement. The Direction Armchair, designed by Jean Prouvé in 1951, is exactly such a piece. Born from technical perfection and a keen eye for functionality, this armchair effortlessly brings together elegance and comfort.

Whether you are dining, working, or relaxing: the Direction Armchair adapts to your rhythm. In the dining room, it exudes sophistication, while in a home office, it creates a powerful, stylish workspace. This is not a chair that blends into the space — this is a chair that defines the space.

Form follows function — and becomes beauty

Prouvé’s design philosophy is immediately visible: every element has a reason. The slender steel base and shaped construction provide stability and character, while the warm wooden armrests offer a subtle contrast. The result? A perfect balance between industrial and natural.

Comfort that continues to surprise you

Behind the minimalist design lies a surprisingly high level of comfort. The seat and backrest are richly padded with innovative, recyclable V-Foam and finished in high-quality fabric or leather — in colors that complement any interior.
