The restoration of Jean Prouvé's Ferembal House
The Ferembal House had been built as the offices for a can factory in Nancy in 1948. The factory was demolished 30 years later and the Jean Prouvé pre fab nearly ended up in the dumpster. Luckily, a local who understood what could be lost, packed it away until the Parisian design gallerist Patrick Seguin came to investigate and took it off his hands. It took him another 10 years to stockpile the funds to renovate the house and another nine - working with Prouvé experts in Nancy, the designer-engineer-architect's town, and Seguin's long-term pal, the architect Jean Nouvel - to actually complete the renovation.
