Cassina continues its study of the furniture of the city of chandigarh and adds the kanga-roo low armchair to the hommage à pierre jeanneret collection; a collection that stands out for its essential forms and simple materials, a balance between modern european ideals and traditional indian spirit. This low chair, made for the city’s general hospital hall but also present in many private houses, is characterized by the "z" shape of its sides, made up of a sequence of three vaguely triangular coplanar elements placed in continuity. The seat and backrest feature typical weaving inside the wooden frame. An optional cushion is available for added protection and comfort;. These product is a tribute to pierre jeanneret, a key figure in the realization of chandigarh. His experience in india lasted until the end of his days in 1967. His close and continuous contact with the local territory led him to combine essential forms with simple materials to create a meeting point between modern european ideals and the traditional indian spirit. The chandigarh project is considered le corbusier’s most mature work that summarises his poetics, technique and ideology, consistent with his will to research and contribute to the culture of architecture and design.
