Capitol Complex Office Chair
Pierre Jeanneret designed the Capitol Complex chair in the 1950s for the civic institutions of Chandigarh, the planned city in northern India conceived by Le Corbusier as a model of rational, humanist urban life. The chair was never simply furniture. It was architecture at human scale, shaped by the same principles of proportion and purpose that governed the buildings it furnished.
Cassina's reissue preserves the defining gestures of the original with rigorous fidelity: the inverted V-shaped legs, the solid wood frame, and the woven Vienna straw seat and back that gave the Chandigarh pieces their warmth and tactile identity. The construction reads as both disciplined and quietly sensuous, a balance that few pieces of the period achieve.
- Solid wood frame with characteristic inverted V-leg construction
- Woven Vienna straw seat and back
- Available in oak stained black, natural teak, natural oak, and oak stained dark
