The Standard Chair
Ateliers Jean Prouve
France, 1950s
A seminal work by Prouve, utilizing

user's legs.
An icon of France's Modern Movement,
by the champion of the constructivist
style.
Displays impressively. The heavy wear from age and use only adds to its industrial aesthetic.

Shipping:
Previously we had teamed up with the UPS Store for packing and arranging shipping. Many potential bidders have indicated they found the UPS Store's service fees and packing charges to be too expensive, discouraging them from bidding. So this year, we have decided to undertake the packing and shipping of all the items ourselves, in-house.
Your patience is appreciated, as we are just a 2-person team. Packing and organizing worldwide shipping for all 115 items in this sale will take some time, particularly large furniture that requires wood crating and special freight coordination. Wood crates will still be built by a third-party woodcrafter, but we will be packing and handling the crates ourselves.
Pick-up is welcome and appreciated. Clients wishing to arrange their own shipping are also welcome and appreciated.
A) Concerning shipping estimates during the auction:
Shipping estimates provided during the auction are estimates only (i.e. "ballpark" figures). The actual packed weight and dimensions are not known until the item is packed.
B) Concerning smaller furniture and small items:
For Canada and the US, items will be shipped by either CanadaPost, UPS, or FedEx; depending on the nature of the item. For US FedEx shipments, clients will be asked to set up a free customs broker account with Fed-Ex Trade Networks, to clear the item through customs.
For International clients, we normally ship by CanadaPost. We will ship by UPS or FedEx if requested.
C) Concerning medium to large furniture, or fragile items requiring wood crating:
For Canada and the US, we can arrange for either "door-to-door" or "door-to-depot" depending on the carrier. The freight shippers we use are Fed-Ex Freight and Yellow Transport. US clients will be asked to set up a free customs broker account with Fed-Ex Trade Networks, to clear the item through customs.
For International clients, we will ship by BAX Global, service is to the nearest major airport.
