Vitra Compas Direction Desk

Material Resources

Jean Prouvé, 1953

The slender, elegantly splayed legs of Compas Direction, designed by Jean Prouvé in 1953, call to mind the hinged arms of a compass – ‘le compas’ in French. With its compact dimensions, the desk is ideal for the contemporary home office.
