Maquette
1948 - 1953
The Mame printworks represents an important milestone in the work of Bernard Zehrfuss, being his first project in France after an early career in Tunisia. It was equally a milestone for Jean Prouvé: the metal shed roofs (whose asymmetric structure has the north-facing glazing typical of factory roofs) would inspire the “shell” form, so enriching his constructional vocabulary. Prouvé was asked by the architect to produce the shed roofs of the workshops and the light constructions set on the terrace roof of the multi-floored administrative offices.
