About This Piece

Vintage Design

The chair is a design by the Swiss architect and furniture designer Pierre Jeanneret (1896 - 1967). Origin Chandigarh/ India, approx. 1950/60. Pierre Jeanneret and Le Corbusier led a joint architecture firm in Paris from 1923 to 1940. Together they worked on the construction of the retort city of Chandigarh in northwestern India. Chandigarh is the capital of the Indian part of Punjab and, alongside Brazil's capital Brasilia, is the second major urban project in the 20th century. The foundation stone for the city was laid in 1951. Furniture that was designed especially for the buildings of this city today enjoy the greatest popularity. Even Hollywood sizes like to surround themselves with designs Pierre Jeanneret ’s. The increasing popularity of these objects unfortunately brought with it that they are being fake more and more frequently. Due to the previous owner's origin, we can assume that our armchair is actually an original. Some details clearly speak for it. However, we cannot give a guarantee. It is best to be convinced by the authenticity using the pictures. The solid teak wooden parts are in the cleaned, gently restored state, with a pronounced patina. Back and seated part with natural network. There is a small damage in the braid (see photo), which has no influence on the stability or on seating comfort. All in all, the chair is in a stable, useful condition. Seat height 42cm. Location Kanzleistrasse.

About the Creator

Pierre Jeanneret

Born in Geneva in 1896, Pierre Jeanneret studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and worked most of his life alongside his cousin Le Corbusier. The significance of Jeanneret's contribution to the partnership has become increasingly recognized, and their 1926 manifesto “Five Points Towards a New Architecture” is seen as the foundation of their legendary careers.

From 1937 to 1940, Jeanneret also collaborated with Charlotte Perriand, designing modern furniture in aluminum and wood, and the two formed a research team with Jean Prouvé to develop prefabricated housing. In 1950 Le Corbusier suggested reforming their partnership to execute the master plan for Chandigarh, the capital of the Punjab. Jeanneret lived on location and presided over the project. He assimilated the Indian building tradition with the architectural and technical solutions he formulated with his cousin. He stayed in Chandigarh for fifteen years, and the city evolved into a landmark of Modernist architecture.
