Provenance :
- Between 1957 and 1961 Mr. & Mrs R. asked Jean-René Prou to decorate their appartment in Neuilly-sur-Seine. This latter asked several designers to create unique
and original pieces for this interior, as this pair of low chairs. A hanging metal sideboard by Gilbert Poillerat, as well as an exceptional desk by Jean-René Prou, were also part of this set-up. Some lightnings by Gino Sarfatti or a fireplace by Vera Szekely were also part of the decor.
