Nine Jean Prouvé prefab houses hit the market

Nine prefabricated houses designed by French architect Jean Prouvé are being offered for sale, marking a rare opportunity to acquire works by the modernist pioneer. The houses, originally built between the 1940s and 1950s, are being sold by a private collection. Prouvé, known for his innovative use of materials and modular construction, created these structures as affordable housing solutions. The sale includes models such as the Maison Tropicale and the Maison à Portique. Prices range from €200,000 to over €1 million. The houses are being marketed by Galerie Patrick Seguin in Paris, a specialist in Prouvé's work. The sale underscores the enduring market value of mid-century modern design.
