"Jean Prouve was one of the most remarkable constructors of the 20th century. His work is a remarkable combination of creative imagination, technical skill and forward-looking enterprise. He worked for important architects like Mallet-Stevens, Garnier, Lods and Jeanneret." "In this volume of Highlights, covering the phase from 1917-1944, the reader will find, among other things, early objects in polished stainless steel, glazed doors, sash windows, early funiture, showcases, first patents; doors in curved sheet steel and doors mounted on tubing, the Town Hall of Boulogne-Billancourt, the Flying Club at Buc, the Maison du peuple at Clichy, the most outstanding examples of his furniture designs of the 1930s and 1940s, and the early prefabricated buildings."--BOOK JACKET.
