Pierre Jeanneret 056 Capitol Complex Wood And Glass Table By Cassina

Product Details

Product Description

The Table designed by Pierre Jeanneret circa 1950 has been relaunched in 2019 by Cassina in Italy. It was originally a part of the furniture used in the Legislative Assembly building of Le Corbusier’s Capitol Complex in Chandigarh, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2016. The model has a base made up of two solid wood elements with a characteristic “corns entrecroisées” shape, representing the solemn functions of the place it is meant for. The Cassina re-edition offers two variants in natural and black stained oak and the option of a glass top in different sizes. This product is a tribute to Pierre Jeanneret, who played a key role in the realization of Chandigarh. His work combined 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, reflecting his poetics, technique, and ideology. The dimensions of the table are D 130 cm, W 270 cm, and H 72 cm. It is available in wood and glass materials. Please note that while some images show other colors and variations of the model, these images are only meant to inspire interior design proposals. The actual color of the product may vary due to the differences in computer monitors, laptop, tablet, and phone screens. Pierre Jeanneret, overshadowed by his cousin Le Corbusier, was a visionary of modernist architecture and design. He collaborated with Charlotte Perriand on experiments in aluminum and wood and developed prefabricated housing with Jean Prouvé. In the early 1950s, he joined his cousin in Chandigarh, where they laid out the city and designed low-cost buildings and furniture. Cassina revisits furnishing designs by the twentieth century's best-known architects, manufacturing iconic pieces of contemporary design from the 50s to the present day. The I Maestri collection includes designs by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand, and others, and the models have been manufactured using evolved technology. Cassina continues to look to the future of design with audacious, passionate curiosity and an open, holistic approach, affirming its exclusive ability to furnish a home’s living and dining spaces completely and iconically with The Cassina Perspective.
