The seat shell of the special limited edition model is made of European pine, which is known for its distinctive grain. A protective wax surface treatment emphasises the unique pattern. The metal structure is powder-coated in the original Prouvé colour: Rouge Corsaire.

Note: Pine characteristically changes colour over time when subjected to sunlight, depending on the intensity of exposure.

Product story: Antony is one of Jean Prouvé's last furniture designs – and it was the first chair to be included in the Vitra Design Museum Collection. It therefore occupies a unique position in this collection, which today comprises of more than 7000 furniture designs. The vintage model was acquired by Rolf Fehlbaum, Chairman Emeritus of Vitra, during a visit to Paris in 1984 and further kindled his interest in Prouvé's oeuvre.
‘For me, Jean Prouvé was the French counterpart to Charles and Ray Eames. What they have in common is the combination of structural honesty and an ensuing creative expression of timeless beauty,’ explains Fehlbaum.
