Jean Prouvé (8 April 1901 – 23 March 1984) was a French metal worker, self-taught architect and designer. Le Corbusier designated Prouvé a constructeur, blending architecture and engineering.

During his career Jean Prouvé was involved in architectural design, industrial design, structural design and furniture design.
