Designer- Le Corbusier, P. Jeanneret

Designed for Le Corbusier’s Capitol Complex building in Chandigarh, India, this design armchair is a reinterpretation by Cassina as a tribute to Pierre Jeanneret, a key figure in building the city. The padding that surrounds the armrests and the generous seat and backrest cushions convey the idea of on-the-spot comfort as well as elegance and simplicity. The upside-down “V” supports, connecting crossbars and external joints between the armrests and backrest are all in exposed wood. In the classic version, in teak, or in oak. 

Padding

Variable density polyurethane foam.

Structure

Solid oak or Burma teak.
