A compact child’s desk or writing table, attributed to Jean Prouvé, dating to the 1950s. The rectangular oak top includes a shallow groove for pens and rests on curved, red enamel-painted metal legs, capped with rubber feet. The base design is consistent with Prouvé’s work from the period, notably his Standard chairs. A shadow beneath the top suggests it may have originally included a drawer.
Well-proportioned and practical in scale, the piece also functions well as a side table.
