During the years of 1941 and 1942, Jean Prouvé's studio planned and realised various interior design products for the chemical company Solvay. Among his many designs of this time, there was also a wooden table that is a prime example of Prouvé's creations: the necessities of statics and the force path are clearly reflected in his design details – similar to the later Vitra EM Table that differs from the Vitra Table Solvay due to its metal table legs. When the Table Solvay was created during World War II by Jean Prouvé, there was a metal shortage and so the table legs were made of wood.
