Pierre Jeanneret PJ-R-26-A Periodical Book Case / Authentic Mid-Century Modern

Product Details

Product Description

Not only is this periodical bookcase a stunning piece of furniture, but it is also an iconic design item that stands out as the most radical of all Chandigarh items. Its sculptural qualities resemble the facades of brutalist buildings designed by Le Corbusier, and its sharp and fierce aesthetic make it a unique addition to any space. Originally from the Punjabi University library, Assembly, or Press block, the bookcase features sliding doors that reveal older issues inside. It can be used as a sculptural room divider or as an object to showcase books, and its strong presence in any room is undeniable. The aluminum retractable doors on some models make this already rare and valuable item even more unique, providing it with a touch of futuristic flair. When shopping with us, you can be confident that your midcentury pieces are authentic. We handpick each item from India ourselves and sell them unrestored, ensuring that all traces and indicators of authenticity remain visible. We preserve the patina as much as possible during restoration, including old cracks, layers of scratches, worn lacquer, distortions of the beams, and the oxidation of the wood due to handling. We do not replace damaged parts with new ones or from other Jeanneret pieces, guaranteeing the item's originality. We provide a Certificate of Authenticity to ensure our customers that they are investing in a quality, rare, and valuable piece. Our gallery is located in Switzerland, the birthplace of Pierre Jeanneret and Le Corbusier. The owner, an architecture graduate from the renowned ETH Zurich university, specializes in Chandigarh objects, particularly those designed by Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand.
