The Coupe Papier, or paper knife, is one of Prouvé's rare small objects and in terms of shape unusual for his work. The design references elements of surrealist paintings of the era and its organic form is reminiscent of the seat shell on Charles and Ray Eames' "La Chaise", which did not appear until ten years later. Commissioned by Prouvé the paper knife was a limited edition made of polished stainless steel and served as a gift for architects and business friends.
