Artist Biography

Simone Prouvé was born in Nancy, France in 1931. The daughter of renowned metalworker and architect Jean Prouvé, she was encouraged by her mother Madeleine to learn sewing and weaving, and moved to Paris to intern with Micheline Pingusson (the wife of architect Georges-Henri Pingusson) to learn weaving techniques. In 1953 and 1954, Prouvé travelled to Sweden and then Finland to train under textile artists Astrid Lund and Dora Jung.
