About the Item

Original Pierre Jeanneret 'X' Leg Desk from the Offices of Chandigarh, India Designed by Le Corbusier. Hand-crafted from teakwood, the floating desktop consists of four drawers, and on the opposite side, a storage compartment concealed by a door. The piece features both Jeanneret's signature half-moon aluminum pulls and drafting compass-shaped legs, Circa 1950-1959. Recently refurbished with a replaced leather top.   PIERRE JEANNERET (FRANCE, 1896-1967) A visionary of modernist architecture and design, Swiss-born architect and furniture designer Pierre Jeanneret (1896-1967) worked for most of his life alongside his cousin Le Corbusier. Pierre Jeanneret emerged from Le Corbusier’s shadow, as collectors have discovered his simple and striking furniture creations. Jeanneret’s finest work in furniture was done in Chandigarh, and these are the pieces that have earned him recent renown. Crafted of teak, the designs range from low-slung lounge chairs and armchairs with cane seats to desks and tables, most with Jeanneret’s signature drafting compass-shaped legs. Many such pieces on the market today are refurbished, having been found by dealers languishing in scrapyards in India in the late 1990s. Chandigarh is now taking better care of its modernist heritage, making available Jeanneret works all the more rare.
