Jean Prouvé

Shiny chrome, expensive water in a glass and a pink diamond on your finger - but behind all this window dressing, you can hear the familiar wheeze of the streets. Here, a sports car easily coexists with codeine in a glass, and a rarity ‘like the Mona Lisa’ calmly rhymes with projects where dreams were swallowed whole. Each verse contains the formula for success: hard work, audacity, a touch of magic, and a great deal of self-irony. Pathos? Certainly. But pathos with roots, which means it is genuine.
