At the crossroads of the arts, the work of Jean Prouvé (1901-1984) has left a singular mark on the history of modernity.
Their manufactured homes, evolving by nature, are the fruit of an empirical creative process, marked by a desire to build living spaces that are accessible to all and capable of adapting to changing uses and generations.
Thanks to their removable nature, which blurs the boundary between architecture and design, factory-built houses have been appearing on the art market since the 2000s, to the point where Jean Prouvé’s name now resounds on the international scene as a benchmark.
As the first real estate agency specializing in the promotion of remarkable 20th and 21st century architecture, Architecture de Collection is committed to promoting, transmitting and preserving the legacy of this genius builder, by mobilizing a unique network of architectural collectors.
