Here the silhouette is strong. It is presented through the outline and shape of the piece. The object exudes an aura. It’s not about the shape or about the material; its auratic quality comes out of its depth, giving a strong presence with an almost ritualist intensity. Its powerful presence exudes a regal energy akin to that of a throne, conveying a sense of strength and firmness. All massive wood parts are authentic. They are done in Indian teak. Rich in texture, the wood is vivid and comes in cognac colour. The surface is treated with shellac and there are several layers of original shellac. It provides smooth irregular gloss different from that of the sterile lacquerware nowadays. Charming irregularities show that each piece is unique. The upholstery is redone in a traditional way. As foam was used for the original seat, we upholstered it accordingly. Unlike the initial upholstery of Chandigarh items in skai, this has been redone in high-end black vintage leather. I think the piece blends well with many interior styles. It can support pure, modern aesthetics by giving them strong, serious, touch. As a chair, it is usable for dining and working, supporting the back nicely. The upholstered pieces offer comfort in a joyful manner, while firmly framing the user/occupant within. P! Galerie’s selection is mainly focused on rare French mid-century modern design artefacts by Pierre Jeanneret, Jean Prouvé, Le Corbusier, and Charlotte Perriand. Artefacts from our carefully curated collection are handpicked, and all traces and important indicators of authenticity are evaluated professionally. We try to preserve as much of patina as possible during the process of restoration, as it defines these historic pieces. Each object comes with a certificate of authenticity, offering you the opportunity to own a valuable artefact originating from a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site. Not only do we cooperate with museums and offer auction houses our services and expert opinion, we also look forward to welcoming you as a private collector and connoisseur.
