The book series is a tribute to the visionaries of furniture design who changed our understanding of form. It is a testament to the message of renewal that the pioneering designs convey. With much love and understanding for the aesthetics of these fine virtuosos, we took on the layout and typesetting, design, production and material selection of this exquisite series.
Harry Bertoia, Marcel Breuer, Le Corbusier, Charles & Ray Eames, Arne Jacobsen, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé, Mies van der Rohe, Eero Saarinen and Mart Stam: minimum celebrates timeless design icons with a series of monographs dedicated to the world’s best furniture designers.
An elegant slipcase completes the ensemble and sets the consistency tone with Otto Marquard's quote (embossed using metallic hot foiling) - "Future needs origin.“
Awarded the RedDot Award, the German Design Award and the Berliner Type Award.
The Prouvé RAW collection is the result of a collaboration between G-Star, Prouvé and Vitra. The presentation of the extraordinary furniture at minimum and at the Qubique fair was developed for a catalogue, which was a limited edition and finished by hand. The layout of the catalogue and the materials used reference the style of the 1940s - the same period that saw Jean Prouvé create his first sketches.
