As a prototype, it is much more free, less afraid to fail. Apart from its importance as a piece with specific development, it was never made in larger quantities. An item which is alluring for collectors and connoisseurs. It is a historic piece, which has an impact on the value, where it acts as a collector’s item too. This is the first chair that was designed for the chandigarh project. Sculptural qualities define it. A vivid dynamic between the different volumes and surfaces, showing different qualities from different angles. Its expressive form offers a complex geometry shaped by light and shadows. The item is made of local materials. Its frame consists of several intersecting bamboo poles which shape a base of its seat and backrest. Wide cotton threads are wrapped around the poles while crossing each other. The backrest is made out of jute ropes. The approach was experimental at the time. As a chair with a specific expression and history, it becomes a collector’s addition to each space. 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.
