Pierre Jeanneret 056 Capitol Complex Dining Set, By Cassina UZ0186772

Product Details

Product Description

The Dining Set was originally designed by Pierre Jeanneret in the 1950s and has been relaunched by Cassina in Italy in 2019. This set includes a Dining Table, 2 Benches, and 2 Armchairs. The inclusion of Le Corbusier's Capitol Complex on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2016 has piqued interest in this particular furniture piece, which was used in the Legislative Assembly building. The base consists of two solid wooden elements with a unique "corns entrecroisées" shape. This model is available in a historic version with teak top and structure, as well as two variants in natural and black stained oak and the option of a glass top in various sizes. The set pays tribute to Pierre Jeanneret's involvement in the realization of Chandigarh, India. Jeanneret's continuous contact with the local terrain led him to combine essential forms with simple materials, creating a meeting point between modern European ideals and traditional Indian spirit. The Chandigarh project is considered Le Corbusier's most mature work that summarizes his poetics, technique, and ideology consistent with his will to research and contribute to architecture and design culture. The Dining Set is made of wood, and the table measures 130cm in diameter, 270cm in width, and 74cm in height. The bench measures 45cm in diameter, 133cm in width, and 42cm in height, and the armchair measures 58cm in diameter, 51cm in width, and 81cm in height. Note that some of the images show other colors and variations of the model, which are simply to present interior design proposals. The actual color may vary slightly from your monitor. Pierre Jeanneret was a modernist visionary who collaborated with Le Corbusier to pioneer a new aesthetic vocabulary that placed function and order over embellishment. Cassina has created the I Maestri collection that revisits furnishing designs by the 20th century's most renowned architects, including Jeanneret. While the designs and functional concepts have been precisely preserved, the models have been manufactured using evolved technology. Cassina continues to look to the future of design, affirming its exclusive ability to furnish a home's living and dining spaces completely and iconically.
