Webbed teak daybed by Pierre Jeanneret from the Chandigarh furniture program, circa 1955–1956. A long reclining platform, rectangular cane back and contemporary dark shearling pad with cylindrical bolster are combined in a visibly articulated timber frame. Jeanneret’s furniture formed part of the larger architectural project of Chandigarh, the new city developed in post-independence India. Alongside desks, chairs and storage furniture, his daybeds addressed the quieter activities of rest and informal seating. Their generous horizontal surfaces were supported by a practical timber framework made with local craftsmen. The design gives an everyday furnishing the clarity of a small architectural structure, with its proportions, visible joints and open spaces establishing a close relationship between useful construction and sculptural form. The head uprights carry the open cane back, while the webbed support remains exposed around the seat rails beneath the removable pad. Visible bolts connect the broad timber members, making the practical assembly legible. The cane grid forms a light vertical screen at one end of the otherwise continuous horizontal platform. A photographed head upright is painted “P.E.C/13(H).” P.E.C is consistent with Punjab Engineering College, whose campus moved to Chandigarh in 1953. The accompanying characters preserve an institutional inventory designation on the frame itself. This lettering gives the daybed a specific college association and remains visible beside the bolt heads and aged teak surface. The vintage teak retains variations in grain, color and surface wear, with softened edges and individual traces of use visible in the photographs. These details give the woodwork its material character and preserve the sense of a furnishing made for daily life in institutional or residential interiors. The timber has been refinished. The present upholstery is a later treatment of the vintage structure. For a related webbed Chandigarh daybed...

An old Indian rustic wooden low chair from the early 20th century, with hand-woven twine and carved motifs. Charming with its rustic appearance, this early 20th-century Indian low wooden chair is a delightful fusion of craftsmanship and practicality. The chair features a short slanted back topped with a small finial, adorned with rosettes hand-carved in low relief within medallions. Below these medallions, a series of petite diamond motifs adds to the intricate detailing, showcasing the artisan's skill. The rectangular seat, crafted from hand-woven twine, provides a sturdy base, resting low on four short feet. The front legs are baluster-shaped, adding a touch of elegance, while the back legs showcase a curving silhouette, enhancing the chair's overall aesthetic. The nicely weathered appearance of the wood gives this piece an authentic, timeworn charm that brings warmth and character to any space. Ideal as a decorative accent, this rustic chair can be placed in a mudroom, where it serves as a charming seating option for putting on shoes, or in a child's bedroom, adding a whimsical touch to the decor. Its delicate carvings and robust construction make it both a functional piece and a work of art. This Indian wooden chair...

Upholstered teak daybed by Pierre Jeanneret from the Chandigarh furniture program, circa 1957–1958, with a contemporary dark taupe shearling pad and cylindrical bolster. The long reclining plane is supported by a low frame with emphatic compass-form ends. Jeanneret’s furniture formed part of the larger architectural project of Chandigarh, the new city developed in post-independence India. Alongside desks, chairs and storage furniture, his daybeds addressed the quieter activities of rest and informal seating. Their generous horizontal surfaces were supported by a practical timber framework made with local craftsmen. The design gives an everyday furnishing the clarity of a small architectural structure, with its proportions, visible joints and open spaces establishing a close relationship between useful construction and sculptural form. Broad angled members spread toward the floor at each end, while a low longitudinal stretcher links the supports beneath the seat. The timber rail remains exposed below the padding, preserving the separation between the vintage base and the current soft furnishing. The rounded bolster rests above the otherwise uninterrupted horizontal plane. The side rail retains painted “PGIMER” lettering followed by inventory number “116” above a line, with “2” below. PGIMER identifies Chandigarh’s Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, established in 1962. The paint records later institutional use of the daybed and adds a particular medical-institute association to the history of this frame. The vintage teak retains variations in grain, color and surface wear, with softened edges and individual traces of use visible in the photographs. These details give the woodwork its material character and preserve the sense of a furnishing made for daily life in institutional or residential interiors. The present upholstery is a later treatment of the vintage structure. A related Chandigarh daybed...
