$14,500.00
A three-panel folding screen by Pierre Jeanneret, featuring linen double-sided panels designed for the Secretariat, the Assembly, and the Punjab University administrative buildings in Chandigarh.
Pierre Jeanneret's significance in Chandigarh lies in his pivotal role alongside Le Corbusier in shaping the city's architectural and urban landscape. While Le Corbusier's vision provided the conceptual framework, Jeanneret's pragmatic approach and attention to detail ensured the realization of this vision.
Jeanneret's furniture designs for Chandigarh stand as enduring symbols of his commitment to merging modernist principles with local context and craftsmanship. His pieces, such as tables, chairs, and cabinets, were crafted with materials readily available in the region. These designs not only adorned the interiors of Chandigarh's governmental buildings and public spaces but also became emblematic of the city's modernist identity
