Pierre Jeanneret Committee Chair

Originally designed in the 1950s for the civic buildings of Chandigarh, India’s first planned city, the Committee Chair by Pierre Jeanneret is a modernist icon that balances architectural rigor with utilitarian elegance.

This particular piece showcases the chair’s distinctive V-shaped legs and solid teak frame, hallmarks of Jeanneret’s functional yet sculptural design language. The seat and backrest have been reupholstered in a beautifully aged yellow velvet, adding a vibrant yet refined contrast to the warm tones and natural grain of the wood. The bold hue revitalizes the historic silhouette, while the soft texture of the velvet introduces a contemporary layer of comfort and sophistication.
