Tribute To Pierre Jeanneret

Committee Chair: Padded Side Chair

Committee Chair: Padded Side Chair

CAD $560

The Committee Chair 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 Chairs were made for use in the Parliament House and administrative offices in the project. Characterized by its distinctive upside-down V-shaped side supports, solid wood structure, and cushioned back and seat, this armless version is available in teak or solid oak, with custom finish and padded upholstery.

Shown in Abisso Premium Suede on Natural White Oak Frame.

The Archetype Forms Committee Chair: Padded Side Chair is a faithful reproduction of the original Pierre Jeanneret Capitol Committee Side 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.
