Delightful child’s school desk or writing table, attributed to Jean Prouvé, 1950s.

The rectangular oak top with indented pen rest on red enamelled metal curved legs ending in rubber caps of the same type found on Prouvé standard chairs. Originally would have been fitted a drawer, as indicated by the shadow visible to the underside.

This little desk would make a wonderful side table, measuring 56cm high, 50cm wide and 35cm deep.
