For the 2nd edition of Paris+ par Art Basel, GALERIE PATRICK SEGUIN will inaugurate the Public Program and show the BCC demountable house, designed by JEAN PROUVÉ and PIERRE JEANNERET in 1941.
Produced in only a few examples between 1941 and 1943, the F 8X8 BCC house exemplifies an “all-wood” architecture, based on the axial portal frame construction system patented by Jean Prouvé in 1939. A product of Prouvé and Jeanneret’s powerful complementarity, this project is the result of the inventiveness of the two ‘esprits nouveaux’.
