Product Details

Product Description

The Chair, originally designed by Pierre Jeanneret in the 1950s, has been revived by Cassina and relaunched in 2019. It is a prominent feature within the Secretariat offices of Chandigarh's Capitol Complex. The chair is made from solid wood, with side bars supporting armrests, all connected to a woven backrest and seat made of Indian cane on a wooden frame. The design incorporates local materials and essential forms, reflecting Jeanneret's philosophy of combining European modernism with traditional Indian spirit. The furniture piece pays tribute to Jeanneret, a key figure in the Chandigarh project alongside Le Corbusier. He was an innovator of modernist architecture and design, collaborating with Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé and working on practical and affordable housing projects. Cassina's I Maestri collection revisits iconic designs by the world's top architects and designers, manufactured using advanced technology while preserving the original concepts. The company continues to innovate and shape the future of design with its audacious and welcoming approach to modern living.
