Imaginée en 1941 afin d’accompagner la bicyclette conçue au même moment, cette remorque à vélo doit faciliter les allées et venues des employés au sein des Ateliers Prouvé ainsi qu’à leur domicile. Réalisé en quelques exemplaires, cet objet utilitaire ne fut jamais industrialisé et traduit la démarche humaniste, presque utopiste, de Jean Prouvé. Comme la bicyclette, cette remorque fait le meilleur usage des ressources très limitées dont disposaient les ateliers Jean Prouvé en temps de guerre et est probablement formée sur les mêmes machines que celles utilisées pour ses réalisations mobilières et architecturales. Cet objet usuel empreint du génie créatif de Jean Prouvé permet d’illustrer sa pensée constructive systémique dans une époque bouleversée et en pleine transformation.
Designed in 1941 to accompany the bicycle designed at the same time, this bicycle trailer should facilitate the travel of employees within the Ateliers Prouvé and to their homes. Produced in a few example, this utilitarian object was never industrialized and reflects his humanist, almost utopist, approach of Jean Prouvé. Like the bicycle, this trailer makes the best use of the very limited resources available to the Jean Prouvé workshops in wartime and is probably built on the same machines as those used for his furniture and architectural works. This everyday object, imbued with the creative genius of Jean Prouvé, illustrates his systemic constructive thinking in a period of upheaval and transformation.
