the indian city of chandigarh – capital of the punjab and utopian model of a modernistic avant-garde urban master plan created in the 1950s – continues to wield its charm and cultural fascination and to fuel the etymological research of cassina in its stewardship of the designer’s plans. Designed specifically by le corbusier and his cousin, pierre jeanneret, to furnish the spaces in the grand political and public buildings, the pieces have been reinterpreted, while staying true to the original project. Thus, the committee chair now becomes part of the hommage à pierre jeanneret tribute collection. Featuring restrained, elegant lines – and the iconic upside-down v-shaped lateral supports – the committee chair is presented in its original version with armrests, and in a new interpretation without armrests, for a more versatile fit in both the living and dining rooms. The seat structure, available in the historic teak version and in natural oak or oak stained black, blends harmoniously with the soft upholstered parts for comfortable, supported seating. Available in fabric or leather, the upholstery is removable to facilitate replacement of the material around the armrests. Each piece in the collection is the utmost expression of the high quality and excellence that distinguish cassina products by virtue of the "hommage à pierre jeanneret" logo on the wood structure as well as the cassina label sewn onto the back side of the backrest.

Their collaboration lasted through to 1937 and was extremely fruitful, especially in the field of furniture design. The partnership was highly significant, both in terms of the cultural weight of their achievements and their professional successes.it was together with charlotte perriand that the pair tackled the innovative project for “l’équipement d'intérieur de l’habitation”.
