The Compas Direction, designed by Jean Prouvé in 1953, was reissued by Vitra. In 2011, Vitra and G-Star introduced the RAW Edition, a contemporary take on Prouvé’s classics, which proved so popular that pieces like the Compas Direction became part of Vitra’s permanent collection. With its slender form, asymmetrical legs, and functional clarity, the desk embodies 1950s design while remaining relevant today. The new edition combines a powder-coated steel base with an oiled oak top, balancing natural warmth with understated elegance.
