Included in UNESCO’s 2016 Cultural Heritage list, the extraordinary architecture of Le Corbusier’s Capitol Complex, designed by Chandigarh in 1951, has received accolades for its celebration of an independent nation open to modernity.

The Haute Cour, along with the Secretariat and the Assemblée wing, make up the core of Chandigarh’s Capitol Complex. The rooms were filled with overstuffed armchairs, all exhibiting the same “V” support structure theme. The only exposed wooden parts are the rests, connecting crossbars, and the external joints between the arms and the backrest. The armrests’ padding almost completely envelops them, creating the outline of a rounded, geometric shape that along with the distinct seat and back cushioning, offer an immediate sense of comfort without abandoning their elegance and simplicity.

Cassina’s reissue offers the classic version in teak, and three versions in natural and stained black oak natural, stained black and stained dark walnut oak.

Upholstery pictured: leather cod. 13Z360.

Pierre Jeanneret

Designer

Pierre Jeanneret

Pierre Jeanneret (1896–1967) was a French-Swiss architect and designer whose pragmatic yet elegant approach left a significant mark on 20th-century modernism. A cousin and close collaborator of Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand, Jeanneret contributed to defining the visual and functional language of modern design through architecture and furniture.

Best known for his work on the city of Chandigarh in India, Jeanneret designed robust, functional furniture that harmonizes with its local context and cultural setting. His designs emphasize clean lines, natural materials, and a balance between simplicity and utility.

Throughout his career, Jeanneret demonstrated a commitment to integrating design with social and environmental realities, making his work deeply relevant both historically and today.

The Cassina reissues of his iconic pieces, such as the Kangaroo chair, celebrate his legacy, merging Swiss-French modernist vision with Italian craftsmanship.
