053 Capitol Complex Armchair Cassina

Brand: Cassina

Product category: Cassina Armchairs

Designer: Pierre Jeanneret

Availability: On request

One of the designs that will be remembered for all time is the 053 Capitol Complex Armchair, which was created by Swiss architect and designer Pierre Jeanneret for Le Corbusier's Capitol Complex building in Chandigarh. This chair is regarded as an icon of design and is representative of a design that will be remembered for all time. In support of local industry and crafts, Pierre Jeanneret combines the materials of traditional Indian culture with easily accessible materials like wood to give life to simple shapes. This is a perfect blend of the modern European ideal and the work of the craftsman. Pierre Jeanneret's projects stand out not just for their innovative design but also for their exceptional cost-effectiveness, thanks to his distinctive approach to both conception and design.

The chair is distinguished by its seat, which is made of Vienna straw, as well as its exposed structure, which is in the shape of an upside-down "V." The structure serves as a support for the armrests and reveals the chair to be as unique as it is exclusive. For continuity with the minimalist aesthetic, the framework is crafted from either solid oak or the more commonly used Burma teak.
