beside some of his Prouvé structures
Seguin knew the Maxéville Design Office might still exist
He had driven by the original site where it had stood
And he had seen Le Bounty without realising that it was indeed the Prouvé structure – for it was now covered in blue aluminium siding and stuck on top of another building

on the occasion of design miami/ basel 2016, galerie patrick seguin presents the ‘maxéville design office’ originally conceived by jean prouvé in the 1940s
the historic structure had remained in north eastern france at ateliers jean prouvé until its restoration by the gallery in 2015
the model of this 10 x 12 meter demountable house
created for the noisy-le-sec experimental site
was successfully presented at the ministry of reconstruction’s new house competition in early 1947
while originally intended as a demonstration
it proved an efficient method of prefabricated housing
the building was originally conceived by by jean prouvé in the 1940s
one of its rare uses was as the design office of jean prouvé’s atelier
strategically positioned at the entrance of the factory
the structure contained design prototypes before they were reviewed for production
due to a disagreement with majority shareholders l’aluminum français
jean prouvé stepped down from his post at the maxéville factory
galerie patrick seguin restored the building in 2015
the building uses axial portal frames in order to create an open
fluid internal space that can incorporate interchangeable partitions and one-piece facing panels
the original design proved an efficient method of prefabricated housing
including as a swingers’ club called ‘le bounty’
the building employs axial portal frames in order to create an open

the original structure was preserved behind cladding

Prouvé was an innovative architect and furniture designer who collaborated with Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand
practical furniture that is still coveted today
as well as structures that could be easily dismantled and moved
including furniture for hospitals and office buildings
and temporary postwar schools and housing for refugees
“The Prouvé blend of avant-garde spirit and humanist concerns has lost none of its relevance,” the gallery said in a press release
Prouvé relocated his workshop to Maxéville
he produced this version of the 33-foot–by–38-foot demountable house as a model for postwar reconstruction
“Intended as a demonstration model that would convince the public of the virtues of prefabricated housing
this was a copybook model,” the gallery said
“The use of the structural axial portal provides an open
fluid plan rendered highly adaptable by interchangeable partitions and one-piece glazed or solid facing panels.”
and the prototype was eventually set up in 1952 in Maxéville as the Ateliers Jean Prouvé Design Office
Prouvé left the company the following year after a dispute with majority shareholder l’Aluminum Français
and “the buildings bearing his stamp were demolished or demounted,” the gallery said
the building served as the office of a plumber
and a swingers’ club called Le Bounty before it was rescued by Seguin in 2015
Watch a time-lapse video of the structure taking shape below:
Jean Prouvé Bureau d'études Maxéville Design Office, 1948 from Galerie Patrick Seguin on Vimeo
Ateliers Jean Prouvé abandoned its outgrown workshops on Rue des Jardiniers
for larger space in an industrial area on the northern edges of the city
The need for expansion came hand in hand with a desire to take part in the national postwar reconstruction effort through the incorporation of a metal prefabrication enterprise
Setting up a new factory in Maxéville did not mean breaking with the previous production structure
but on the contrary was a continuation of a double experience undertaken
in conjunction with Marcel Lods and Pierre Jeanneret
Participation with Marcel Lods in the competition of the OTUA (Office Technique pour l’Utilisation de l’Acier) in 1939 and 1944 would provide Jean Prouvé with a framework for theoretical and programmatic reflection on metal’s application in construction through industrial production methods
Because the house was an organism that was infinitely more complex than an industrial object (a car
it was obligatory to channel operations towards fabricating serial houses before addressing the problem of collective housing
The making of a prototype for industrialized housing required design studies
manufacturing and montage of a kind that lay outside the rules and conventions of traditional building
could only be solved by industrial production
As for the collaboration with Pierre Jeanneret and the BCC (Bureau Central de Construction)
which began in 1939 with the work done for the SCAL (Societé Centrale des Alliages Légers)
it spanned the entire wartime period in a context of penury that
permitted open experimentation with diverse solutions for technological adaptation with unusual materials (wood
The solution corresponded to the availability of the materials
Parallel to the technical problems to be solved
Prouvé’s patient and painstaking research in search of an optimal individual dwelling led him to a reflection of an architectural nature and to the creation of a typology of floor plans and structural systems that would be partly materialized in the Métropole-type houses (1949)
