galerie patrick seguin brings prouvé’s 6×6 house to parisFor this year’s Design Miami. Paris, Galerie Patrick Seguin presents Jean Prouvé’s 6×6 Demountable House (1944) in the garden of the Hôtel de Maisons, as part of Design at Large. Originally conceived as emergency housing for families displaced by World War II, the prefabricated structure reflects Prouvé’s approach to industrialized construction and combines a lightweight steel frame with standardized wooden panels. For the Paris presentation, the gallery reinterprets the interior of the residence as a space inspired by the chashitsu, the traditional Japanese tea pavilion, bringing Prouvé’s architectural principles into dialogue with Japanese culture.all images © Galerie Patrick Seguina demountable house designed for postwar reconstructionProuvé developed the 6×6 Demountable House in response to an urgent housing shortage in France at the end of World War II. Commissioned to design temporary homes for displaced families in Lorraine and Franche-Comté, he sought a construction system that could be manufactured economically, assembled quickly, and dismantled for relocation when necessary.

The exhibition shares two new sections of the public art mural on view for the first time, featuring moments from an era of collective action that still resonates today.
