Pierre Jeanneret Kangaroo Low Armchair, Wood And Cane With Cushions By Cassina

Product Details

Product Description

The Bench, originally designed by Pierre Jeanneret circa 1955, has been relaunched in 2020 by Cassina in Italy. As part of the Hommage à Pierre Jeanneret Collection, which showcases simple forms and materials, the Kanga-roo low armchair is a tribute to Jeanneret's experience in India, where he combined modern European ideals with traditional Indian spirit. The chair's "Z" shaped sides are made up of three triangular coplanar elements, while the seat and backrest feature weaving inside the wooden frame. An optional cushion adds extra protection and comfort. It is important to note that some images show other colors and variations of the model for interior design proposals, but the first image showcases the item that is being sold. Actual colors may vary due to the differences in every computer monitor, laptop, tablet, and phone screen when it comes to displaying colors. Pierre Jeanneret, a key figure in the realization of Chandigarh, was overshadowed by his cousin Le Corbusier but was a visionary of modernist architecture and design. In collaboration with Jeanneret, Le Corbusier pioneered a new aesthetic vocabulary that valued function and order over embellishment. Jeanneret's work incorporated energetic diagonals and lighter materials like cane and wood, and he collaborated with Charlotte Perriand on experiments in aluminum and wood while also developing prefabricated housing with Jean Prouvé. Cassina, the manufacturer of the Bench and other iconic pieces of contemporary design furniture, revisits furnishing designs by renowned architects in their I Maestri collection. Using evolved technology, they preserve the designs and functional concepts of the twentieth century's best-known architects, including Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Franco Albini, and more. With an open, holistic approach, Cassina looks to the future of design with audacious, passionate curiosity and the ability to furnish a home's living and dining spaces completely and iconically.
