Pierre Jeanneret PJ-SI-20-A Chair / Authentic Mid-Century Modern

About the Item

This chair is an iconic piece. It is raw in its simplicity and somehow has this strong, almost masculine attitude. There is also something deeply relaxing about this design but at the same time it’s very sharp and fierce. The back is very straight, that brings quite strictness into this piece. Its legs are thinner and more fragile on the edges and get thicker in a curved line. That is such a great detail. It shows how Jeanneret was experimenting. It has a combination of this strong wood frame filled with the thin caning. These contrasts make this object so unique. Each chair looks a bit different and that makes every chair to a unique piece. – Some are thinner, lower, wider, darker, with wider or denser caning, with more traces of use or less. Each chair has its own character and that makes them so unique and different to all the industrial design, where every item is 100% the same. Pierre Jeanneret created sensual designs that are not only timeless but historic. This chair has authentic written marks on the back which makes it even more valuable. Authenticity: That is an authentic Mid-Century piece from Chandigarh designed by Pierre Jeanneret. Each wooden part is authentic Mid-Century, each wooden part is originally from that chair. No wooden parts got replaced. This chair got examined carefully in the condition before restoration. Then all traces and important indicators were still visible, so it's certain that it's not a fake or a partially authentic object.
