About the Item
Authentic Chandigarh 'Box' chair in teak, circa 1960. PJ-SI-54-A.
Made in richly coloured teak, lightly restored and re-caned to retain as much of the chair’s original patina as possible. Old knocks, marks and splits have been secured and maintained to keep the authentic character of these chairs, used for half a century in the Punjab university.
One of three available, each with its own distinct markings.
Pierre Jeanneret (22 March 1896 - 4 December 1967) was a Swiss architect who collaborated with his cousin, Le Corbusier, designing furniture for Le Corbusier's vast modernist complex at Chandigarh. Jeanneret remained for over 15 years as the project’s chief architect and the city remains a masterpiece of the modern vision. The pair pioneered a new aesthetic that placed function and order over embellishment—Jeanneret’s work imbuing the strict geometry of modernism with lighter materials like cane and wood.
Jeanneret also collaborated with other modern masters, Charlotte Perriand on experiments in aluminium and wood, and Jean Prouve developing prefabricated housing.
