Under mitt besök på Design Museum London fängslades jag av den utställning kring Jean Prouvé.
Denna formgivare och arkitekt(han var aldrig utbildad arkitekt) var fram tills nu helt okänd för mig. Tydligen var han fram till ganska nyligen också missförstådd och nästan bortglömd.
Hans formgivning är väl nästan brutal i sin enkelhet och beundran inför teknik och funktionalitet. Måste säga att jag gillar denna stil.
Hemkommen stannar jag förvånat och tittar på huset där vi nu bor (byggt 2001) och noterar att influensen av Prouvé är påtaglig.
Den här monteringsfärdiga bensinstationen är mycket typisk för Prouvé, särskilt ljusinsläppen/ventilerna som man återfinner i de flesta av hans byggnader.
Inne i stationen står hans stol "Standard" och ett skrivbord.

Är benägen att hålla med, inte min smak heller. Gillar inte det stilrena och nakna. Väntar på att Ballen skall övertyga oss.
