Committee Chair: Padded Armchair

USD $640.00

The Committee Chair Armchair was originally designed by Pierre Jeanneret as part of the Chandigarh Capitol Complex project in the 1950s, a major architectural endeavor led by Jeanneret and Le Corbusier to symbolize India’s post-independence optimism and modernist ideals.

The Committee Armchairs were made for use in the Parliament House and administrative offices. Characterized by its distinctive upside-down V-shaped side supports, solid wood structure, and cushioned back and seat, this armrest version of the Committee Chair has padding that almost completely envelops the arms, creating the outline of a rounded, geometric shape.

The Committee Chair: Padded Armchair offers immediate comfort without abandoning elegance and simplicity.

Shown in Granite Whisper Velvet Upholstery on Black Oak Frame.

The Archetype Forms Committee Chair: Padded Armchair is a faithful reproduction of the original Pierre Jeanneret Committee Chair, also known as the Model 062 Committee Chair & Chandigarh Committee Chair.

Designer

Pierre Jeanneret

Pierre Jeanneret (1896-1967) was a Swiss architect and designer known for his significant contributions to modernist furniture and architecture. He began his career collaborating with his cousin, Le Corbusier, and Charlotte Perriand. Their works include the LC series, including the iconic LC2 and LC3 armchairs, unveiled at the 1929 Salon d'Automne exhibition "Equipment for Living" in Paris.  Jeanneret is also remembered for his work in Chandigarh, India (1951-1965), where he designed and oversaw the production of functional furniture for the city's government and public buildings. His recognizable designs include the iconic Committee Chair, the Kangaroo Chair, and Capitol Complex Chairs, all characterized by their use of local materials and simple, geometric forms. Pierre Jeanneret's versatility in design, architecture, and material usage has left an enormous mark on global design, with his work continuing to gain prominence and recognition to this day.
